Corino’s 2005 Barolo Arborina offers a very representative expression of this La Morra site in its focused red fruits, sweet herbs, flowers and spices. There is plenty of energy and harmony here. Pretty, floral notes that reappear on the finish give the Arborina a nice sense of balance as well as proportion. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2021.
These stylish, deeply-colored wines from Giovanni Corino offer terrific quality.
