2021 Giacomo Conterno Nebbiolo d’Alba Vigna Arione
Piedmont’s Crown Jewel
Crafted by Piedmont’s esteemed Giacomo Conterno family estate, this Barolo-adjacent Nebbiolo d’Alba epitomizes Old World finesse. Hailing from Alba’s revered Arione zone—just beyond Barolo’s borders—the vines were meticulously replanted post-2015 to ensure optimal fruit expression.
Precision in Aging
Undergoing an extended 31-month oak maturation (a hallmark of Barolo craftsmanship), this medium-bodied red achieves perfect balance between vibrant acidity and silken tannins. The extended élevage imparts layers of complexity absent in quicker-staged vintages.
Palate Profile
Explosive aromatics of crushed violets interplay with red cherry compote and subtle white pepper notes on entry. Mid-palate reveals dried rosemary nuances before finishing with a mineral-driven streak reminiscent of Alba’s chalky soils—a signature trait of Conterno’s terroir-focused approach.
Serve & Savor
Ideal at 62-65°F (17-18°C), this versatile gem pairs equally well with slow-braised Osso Buco or aged Gouda cheese platters. Limited availability reflects its status as a Fine & Rare collection piece (14.5% ABV; discounts unavailable).
Why choose this? Unlike mass-produced Barolos, Vigna Arione combines Barolo’s structural rigor with Alba’s approachable fruit character—perfect for collectors seeking accessible yet age-worthy Nebbiolo without strict Barolo price points.*
