A highly acclaimed, single-vineyard Nebbiolo that represents the fifth vintage of this specific bottling since the producer acquired the Arione vineyard in 2015. It is known for its balance of power and elegance, characteristic of the Serralunga d'Alba terroir.

Nose: Intensely perfumed with crushed berries, licorice, herbal spices, wild flowers, and violets.

Palate: Medium-to-full-bodied with firm, dusty tannins and vibrant acidity. It features a mineral core with flavors of black cherry, crushed rose, and menthol.

Structure: While currently youthful and "on the tighter side," it displays great potential for long-term aging.

Giacomo Conterno Description

Traditional Pairings: Following the local traditions of the Langhe region is the most classic way to enjoy this wine: 
Brasato al Barolo: Beef slow-cooked in Barolo wine until tender. The richness of the meat and the wine-based sauce perfectly softens the bottle's high tannins.

Tajarin with White Truffles: This delicate, egg-heavy pasta served with butter and fresh Alba white truffle shavings echoes the wine's earthy and floral aromatics.

Agnolotti del Plin: Small, hand-pinched pasta typically filled with roasted meats (veal, pork, or rabbit) and served with a simple meat jus or butter and sage.

Battuta di Fassona: Hand-chopped raw Piedmontese beef seasoned simply with olive oil and salt, allowing the wine’s fruit density to shine.
