It comes from La Morra, one of the historic communes of the Barolo appellation. Arborina, in fact, is a small MGA, or additional geographical mention, located in the hamlet of Annunziata. The name Arborina derives from the fact that this area is rich in trees, especially oaks and hazels, which provide shade for the vines during the hot summer days. Here Nebbiolo combines power and refinement to perfection. With limestone-clay soil and south-eastern exposure, Mauro Veglio's vines, planted between the early 1970s and 1988, are rooted in mineral-rich soil. Careful and meticulous vinification involves cold maceration to enhance the freshness and fragrance of the fruit and ageing in partly new and partly used oak barrels. Arborina has a brilliant ruby red colour with garnet hues. On the nose, the bouquet is intense and complex, dominated by notes of small red fruits, such as cassis and blackcurrants, enriched by delicate spicy nuances. In the mouth, it is enveloping and persistent, with silky tannins and a vibrant acidity that balances the structure. The minerality, typical of the terroir of La Morra, gives the wine freshness and elegance. Arborina is a wine that ages beautifully, developing tertiary notes of undergrowth, leather and tobacco over time. But it is already very pleasant today, especially to accompany important and tasty dishes such as braised meats, game and mature cheeses, as well as tasty first courses and risottos.
