WineSaint
Altare's finest from a difficult vintage. Rich cassis and dark plum flow with impressive depth, while tobacco, cedar and warm spice add complexity. The structure is classic Serralunga. Powerful tannins that grip with authority yet show refinement underneath. Needs cellaring through 2024-2026 to fully integrate.
