Professional Ratings

    Aromatic, this red is loaded with cherry, strawberry, wild herb and savory licorice and mineral notes. Elegant, intense and persistent on the long, resonant aftertaste. Shows power and finesse. Best from 2018 through 2035.
  • 93
    With fruit sourced from one of the most celebrated vineyards of La Morra, the 2011 Barolo Arborina shows a bold and penetrating personality with dark fruit layers backed by spice, leather and grilled herbs. Like Corino's other Barolo wines, Arborina is aged in French oak for two years. In this case, the wine is expressive and broad with an open and genuine quality that distinguishes it from its peers. The mouthfeel is soft, decadent and velvety.

Renato Corino, Italy
As of January 2006, The Corino family estate was divided into two separate properties: Giuliano retained the original homestead and cellars while Renato moved into the Arborina area, approximately 1 km from the original winery. Renato now exclusively produces the Barbera Vigna Pozzo and Barolo Vigneto Rocche, while his base Barolo is almost entirely fruit from the Roncaglie vineyard. Barolo Arborina, the regular Barolo, Barolo Vecchie Vigne, Dolcetto and Barbera are made by both Corino estates. His talent as a winemaker continues to be recognized by the international press, with Arborina 2004 receiving 94 points from Spectator and Rocche 2004 94 points from Parker.

Responsible for some of the most elegant and age-worthy wines in the world, Nebbiolo, named for the ubiquitous autumnal fog (called nebbia in Italian), is the star variety of northern Italy’s Piedmont region. Grown throughout the area, as well as in the neighboring Valle d’Aosta and Valtellina, it reaches its highest potential in the Piedmontese villages of Barolo, Barbaresco and Roero. Outside of Italy, growers are still very much in the experimentation stage but some success has been achieved in parts of California. Somm Secret—If you’re new to Nebbiolo, start with a charming, wallet-friendly, early-drinking Langhe Nebbiolo or Nebbiolo d'Alba.

The center of the production of the world’s most exclusive and age-worthy red wines made from Nebbiolo, the Barolo wine region includes five core townships: La Morra, Monforte d’Alba, Serralunga d’Alba, Castiglione Falletto and the Barolo village itself, as well as a few outlying villages. The landscape of Barolo, characterized by prominent and castle-topped hills, is full of history and romance centered on the Nebbiolo grape. Its wines, with the signature “tar and roses” aromas, have a deceptively light garnet color but full presence on the palate and plenty of tannins and acidity. In a well-made Barolo wine, one can expect to find complexity and good evolution with notes of, for example, strawberry, cherry, plum, leather, truffle, anise, fresh and dried herbs, tobacco and violets.

There are two predominant soil types here, which distinguish Barolo from the lesser surrounding areas. Compact and fertile Tortonian sandy marls define the vineyards farthest west and at higher elevations. Typically the Barolo wines coming from this side, from La Morra and Barolo, can be approachable relatively early on in their evolution and represent the “feminine” side of Barolo, often closer in style to Barbaresco with elegant perfume and fresh fruit.

On the eastern side of the Barolo wine region, Helvetian soils of compressed sandstone and chalks are less fertile, producing wines with intense body, power and structured tannins. This more “masculine” style comes from Monforte d’Alba and Serralunga d’Alba. The township of Castiglione Falletto covers a spine with both soil types.

The best Barolo wines need 10-15 years before they are ready to drink, and can further age for several decades.
