Sweet red fruit and mint create an engaging interplay, with pomegranate adding brightness and energy. The mid-palate shows impressive depth without weight, thanks to careful extraction that preserves elegance. 2014 proves surprisingly generous for Nebbiolo, delivering grace where the vintage promised austerity.

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.
