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.

Elio Altare

Elio Altare is one of the founding figures of the Barolo Boys movement, credited with modernizing Langhe winemaking in the 1980s through shorter macerations and French oak. His estate remains a benchmark for the progressive wing of Piedmont.
