Note di degustazione
Wines from Arborina in La Morra are easy to recognize thanks to the especially silky and smooth quality of the tannins. This can make them slightly more accessible, as is the case with this vintage. The 2018 Barolo Arborina (with 6,500 bottles produced) sees its fruit sourced from a 2.5-hectare site at a breezy 250 to 300 meters above sea level. It represents a special selection of clusters from the oldest vines (about 35 years in age), and winemaking takes it through mostly neutral oak with 25% new wood. The wine shows redcurrant, wild plum, rose and crushed stone.

The 2018 Barolo Arborina is laced with sweet dried cherry, mint, spice, cedar and sweet pipe tobacco. The Arborina is attractive and lifted, but also a bit dried out in its flavor profile. Both bottles I tasted are suggestive of a wine that is likely to age at a faster pace than the others in this range.
La Morra. 20 days on the skins. A shade deeper than the Classico Barolo. Perfumed and concentrated with more noticeable oak (30% new oak). Still quite compact. Salty and liquorice hints. Concentrated and fine. Lots of stuffing on the palate too, while still a little embryonic. Finely grained, long tannins adding drama to the concentrated supple fruit on the finish. (WS)
