The 1999 Barolo Arborina is from the estate’s home vineyard and is a beauty. Potent and expressive in aroma, with ample notes of tar, anisette, and sweet fruit, it is very solid and long, almost traditional in its firm tannins, but is polished, plush, and graceful as well. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2018. A Marc de Grazia Selection, various American importers, including Michael Skurnik, Syosset, NY; tel. (516) 677-9300, Vin Divino, Chicago, IL; tel.
