Three bottles of Giacomo Conterno Nebbiolo d’Alba Vigna Arione — 2020, 2021 and 2022 — from a unique parcel just outside the Barolo production zone in the Arione vineyard, vinified with full Barolo élevage: 31 months in large Slavonian oak casks. As Antonio Galloni of Vinous wrote of the 2020: “This is Barolo in all but name.” The Arione vineyard was acquired by Roberto Conterno in 2015 — so prized that Arione fruit now enters the legendary Monfortino blend. The Nebbiolo d’Alba is produced from a small section of Arione that lies just outside the official Barolo production zone. The 2020 is described as “bright, focused and tightly wound — bright red-toned fruit, blood orange, chalk, mint, dried herbs and white pepper all race across the palate. What a knockout.” Rated 94/100 Vinous. The 2021 delivers powerful structure, deep red fruit, rose petals, a touch of tar and electric tension — “serious, with all the signature Conterno traits.” Rated 93/100. The 2022 reveals intense ripe red cherries, pressed flowers and watermelon — light to medium-bodied with dusty yet dynamic tannins. Rated 92/100. All three bottles in perfect condition — intact labels and capsules, top fill level. Stored in a professional temperature-controlled cellar.
