Barolo Arione by Giacomo Conterno is one of the most prestigious and iconic red wines of the Langhe, born from the acquisition in 2015 of the eponymous and famous cru located in Serralunga d'Alba.
The clusters, collected manually during the harvest, are brought to the premises of the Giacomo Conterno winery, where they are crushed. The resulting grapes are sent to the press and the must is fermented in steel tanks.

Upon first sight it has a brilliant ruby red color with garnet reflections. On the nose it expresses refined notes of red fruits (cherry, currant and pomegranate), rose and dried violet, hints of licorice, aromatic herbs and a deep mineral trail reminiscent of graphite. In the mouth it is structured, austere and concentrated, supported by a thick, silky tannin and a long, balsamic finish.

The perfect pairing is with Brasato al Barolo or with the stew of fat-fleshed buffalo. Dishes based on wild boar, capriole or wild hare (such as the wild hare in salmì). Egg tartare or agnolotti del plin seasoned with roast beef sauce or enriched with a generous slice of Alba White Truffle. Excellent as a final dish with very aged or intensely flavored hard cheeses.
