Critics reviews
Walter Speller 19/20
Lustrous mid ruby with the beginning of orange tinges. Exalted, sweet red-fruit nose with great lift. Immensely exciting and captivating. Almost waxy, sweet cherry palate with a fine layer of spice. Transparent and lithe yet enormously concentrated and sensationally balanced with a rich layer of coating tannins and bright acidity.

Introducing the 2015 Barolo Arione. This is the first vintage produced of the newest wine to join the extended and ever-evolving Conterno portfolio. Only three oak casks were produced: the one I tasted from to write this review, one that was auctioned off to charity and the third botte that ended up becoming part of the iconic Monfortino blend.
That fruit from the recently acquired Arione vineyard would be deemed good enough to end up in Monfortino tells a lot about how confident Roberto Conterno is in this product. From a tasting point of view, this wine is characterized by richness and density, with a polished mineral note that never hides from view. The richness of the soils in this vineyard correspond to the density and structure of the wine. Most of the vineyard was planted in the 1960s with some replants throughout the 1980s and 1990s. If Francia is elegance, Arione is power.
