Barolo, Arborina, 2003
justerini & brooks tasting note
There were three harvests carried out in this vineyard in 2003 to make sure everything was picked at optimum ripeness. A little closed initially but very concentrated, the mutli layers gradually unveil themselves showing powerful flavours of berry, sweet spice and dried herb with touches of cigar leaf and cinnamon.

93/100Antonio Galloni,Vinous
The 2003 Barolo Vigneto Arborina is remarkably gracious and medium in body considering the scorching hot year. Sweet red cherries, flowers and spices are pushed forward in a super-expressive Barolo that is an absolute delight to taste today. The 2003 is starting to show some signs of advancement, so it is best enjoyed over the next handful of years.
