The 2008 Barolo Vigneto Arborina is drop-dead gorgeous. It is a weightless, gracious wine built on pure elegance and finesse. Dark red cherries, flowers, mint and spices are some of the many notes that flow from this utterly impeccable Barolo. The French oak is used masterfully here. I especially like the way the Arborina turns weightless and understated on the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2023.
Renato Corino's 2008s are highly representative of the vintage. Although the wines don't have the richness or depth they have in riper years, they impress for their vibrancy, length and fabulous overall balance.
