Elio Altare Larigi 2014
Red
Barolo, Italy
7.0
WineSaint
Ethereal and graceful, with lifted red fruit and mineral notes that dance across the palate. The acidity provides beautiful tension, while polished tannins maintain elegance despite the challenging vintage. Shows classic Larigi restraint and refinement, though it lacks the concentration of stronger years. Drink 2025-2035.
