Dark cherry and spice flow with unexpected grace, the 2015's warmth coaxing early charm from this typically stern site. Floral notes weave through the core, while supple tannins replace Arborina's usual youthful grip. Cedar and earthy tobacco add layers to an unusually approachable expression.

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.
