The Renato Corino 2016 Barolo Arborina shows ripeness and succulence with dark fruit, bold cherry, raspberry and wild rose. The tannins are tame, as is characteristic of fruit from La Morra, but the aromatic complexity of the wine keeps you guessing with each swirl of the glass. This is a delicate Barolo for sure, but its subdued personality is perfect for a simple plate of agnolotti stuffed with minced meat. The wine is aged in barrique, with one-third new oak. Some 3,500 bottles were made.

Oak tones of vanilla and toast are nicely integrated with the floral, red berry, tar, iron and tobacco flavors of this red, which is polished and succulent, showing a mix of fruit, spice and mineral notes mingling on the finish. Best from 2023 through 2042. 200 cases made, 70 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
