Giacomo Conterno Nebbiolo d'Alba Vigna Arione, Piedmont, Italy 2022

Nebbiolo d’Alba “Vigna Arione” 2022 offers a compelling expression of Nebbiolo from the renowned Arione vineyard in Piedmont. Crafted with the same traditional philosophy that defines the estate’s Barolo, this bottling delivers vibrant red cherry, crushed rose, and subtle spice layered over hints of earth and mineral depth. The 2022 vintage shows beautiful purity and energy, with refined tannins and bright acidity giving the wine structure without heaviness. Elegant, expressive, and approachable in its youth, it provides an outstanding introduction to Conterno’s style while still offering the balance to evolve gracefully over the coming years.

"A bright transparent red color, the 2022 Nebbiolo D'Alba was also tasted as a barrel sample and will be bottled within a few months and released in October of 2025. It’s a fresh and inviting wine on the nose with aromas of lifted licorice, fresh cherries, roses, and fresh fennel. The palate is spicy and pure with white pepper, ripe fruit, fine tannins, and a very even feel throughout. It’s a lovely wine that should have a good deal of longevity ahead." Jeb Dunnuck 93-95
