Score 95/100 · Drink 2024-2040, Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, Aug 2022

The 2018 Barolo Arborina is born close to home, in the sunrise-facing vineyard that starts just below the family house and winery. This pretty wine reveals a delicate embroidery of wild rose, rusted nail, spice and clove-dotted orange. Barrel aging is with 20% new oak for 24 months. The finish is long and linear, ending with a powerful 15% alcohol. This vintage saw 6,200 bottles released.

The 2018 Barolo Arborina is a powerful, burly wine that is going to need a bit of time to soften the firm young Nebbiolo tannins. There is plenty of Arborina energy and tannin that comes alive with a bit of coaxing. Dark cherry, gravel, cloves and licorice give the 2018 a decidedly somber feel in this vintage.
