Reviewed January 2026
Multilayered yet overt and generous, showing dried violets, potpourri, licorice, cherry pits and pomegranate. Full-bodied and almost salty, with firm, dusty tannins, crisp acidity and a tight yet balanced finish due to great fruit concentration. Warming yet harmonious. October 2026 release. Drink then or hold. (AF)

Wine Advocate

Review Date: 07/2026
The Giacomo Conterno 2022 Barolo Arione opens to beautifully perfumed aromas of wild cherry, rose and delicate spice with the finesse and precision that distinguish this celebrated Serralunga d'Alba vineyard. The wine is remarkably open and expressive at this early stage, offering immediate charm rather than the stern, tightly wound personality often associated with young Barolo destined for decades of aging. That early accessibility should not be mistaken for simplicity, however, as the wine retains impressive balance, freshness and layered complexity. (ML)

Even in this warm, dry year, the 2022 Barolo Arione offers tons of the mineral and savory intensity that is such a signature of this site. Sage, dried herbs, graphite, menthol, licorice and white pepper complement a core of deeply layered, dark Serralunga fruit. The rich mid-palate and sustained finish suggest a very bright future.

Notes

The 2022 Giacomo Conterno Barolo Arione in magnum (1.5L) is a powerful, authoritative expression of one of Serralunga d'Alba's most prestigious south-facing crus. It offers a profile of macerated cherries, graphite, and wild herbs, underpinned by the "gravitas" and dense, savory structure typical of Arione’s limestone soils. While the 2022 vintage provided a generous core of ripe fruit, the wine remains defined by its firm, architectural tannins and a long, mineral-driven finish. Bottled in a magnum, this wine is built for multi-decade aging and is expected to reach its full secondary complexity starting around 2035.
