The 2011 Barolo Arione presents a classic profile of Nebbiolo (in a warm vintage) with dark fruit, black cherry, spice, autumnal tones and dark truffle. The bouquet doesn't show the depth or balsamic definition of cooler vintages. If offers a broader, thicker consistency instead. It shows an immediate style for near- and medium-term consumption.

The dense, finely woven texture sets the stage for cherry, currant, licorice and tar flavors. Verges on chewy, yet stays on course, with a vibrant, sweet fruit– and tobacco-tinged finish. Best from 2019 through 2033. 1,250 cases made, 100 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
