    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    The 2019 Arborina displays haunting notes of rose and liquorice with wave after wave of small, crystalline berries dancing along the palate. Lighter in body than the Classico blend with a fine thrum of acidity, it is long and finessed with a surprisingly weightless feel. Discreet notes of cocoa, nutmeg, cedar and wood support the core with great ease. Textbook La Morra. A clay-dominated south to south-east facing amphitheatre in the commune of Annunziata. Raised for 24 months in 25% new Taransaud barriques after fermentation in stainless steel.

    Antonio Galloni,

    The 2019 Barolo Arborina is laced with dark cherry, graphite, dried flowers and licorice. It is an especially dark, almost somber Arborina, with huge, incisive tannins that are quite dominant at this stage. It will be interesting to see how the 2019 ages. Based on several decades of tasting these wines, I think it will age quite well, but remain a brooding powerhouse.
