Giacomo Conterno Arione Nebbiolo d'Alba 2022

Giacomo Conterno’s 2022 Vigna Arione Nebbiolo d’Alba offers a graceful expression of Nebbiolo from a parcel just outside the Barolo appellation. Floral, spicy and mineral, it combines the variety’s characteristic structure with an elegant profile of bright red fruit, herbs and chalky freshness.

Tasting Notes
Bright ruby in appearance, the wine opens with lifted aromas of red berries, dried herbs and fresh mint, complemented by delicate white-pepper spice and a distinctly mineral, chalk-like character. On the palate, it is refined and energetic, with vivid red-fruit flavours, savoury herbal notes and the firm yet polished tannins typical of Nebbiolo. Its freshness and structure make it enjoyable now with aeration, while the wine should develop added complexity over the next several years.

Production
The Nebbiolo comes from a parcel in Vigna Arione located just outside the Barolo zone. The vines were replanted in 2017, and the site’s mineral character is reflected in the wine’s chalky notes and focused freshness. Specific details regarding harvest methods and vinification have not been provided, but the finished wine highlights the clarity and aromatic precision associated with this distinctive site.

Food & Serving
Serve at approximately 16–18°C, ideally after decanting for 30–60 minutes to soften the tannins and allow its floral and mineral nuances to emerge. Its bright acidity and structured palate make it an excellent match for truffle pasta, mushroom risotto, roasted poultry, veal, herb-seasoned lamb and mature Italian cheeses.

Producer
Founded in the early 20th century, Giacomo Conterno is one of Piedmont’s most respected traditional Barolo producers. Based in Monforte d’Alba, the estate is renowned for wines of remarkable longevity, depth and site expression, including its legendary Monfortino Riserva. Vigna Arione continues this focus on distinguished vineyard character, presenting Nebbiolo in a more approachable Nebbiolo d’Alba style.
