The Giacomo Conterno "Arione" Nebbiolo d'Alba 2021 is a distinguished wine made from the revered Nebbiolo grape, sourced from the prestigious Arione vineyard in Serralunga d'Alba. While Conterno is best known for their Barolo wines, this Nebbiolo d'Alba showcases the pure expression of the Nebbiolo grape from this top-tier vineyard outside the Barolo DOCG classification.
The 2021 vintage offers vibrant aromas of red cherries, rose petals, and spices, with subtle notes of tar and earth, which are hallmarks of Nebbiolo grown in this region.
On the palate, the wine is elegant and structured, with bright acidity and fine tannins, making it both approachable in its youth and capable of aging. The mineral character from the Arione vineyard adds depth and complexity to the wine, making it a more refined and sophisticated expression of Nebbiolo.
As with all of Giacomo Conterno’s wines, the Arione Nebbiolo d'Alba 2021 is produced with meticulous attention to detail, offering a wine that reflects both the vintage and the vineyard’s unique terroir. It’s an excellent choice for those seeking a high-quality Nebbiolo from one of Piedmont’s most esteemed producers.
