Arborina

Location: Italy

Legal name: Arborina MGA

Region: Piedmont

Nested under: Barolo

Arborina is a La Morra MGA and a useful example of Barolo geography associated with fragrance and texture. Nebbiolo from this area is often discussed through red cherry, rose, spice, licorice, and comparatively polished tannins. For drinkers, the name is a label clue for place and style tendency, not a guarantee of one producer's exact expression.
