The 2021 Barolo Arborina is a very pretty, ethereal wine. Dark cherry, lavender, rose petal, spice, mint and blood orange are nicely delineated. There is plenty of energy here. Even so, the Arborina feels a bit slender in 2021. That may be a reflection of younger vines in the mix. This opens beautifully with a bit of air, gaining mid-palate sweetness and breadth.
