Cedar, anise and bright red fruit create compelling aromatics in this skillful Barbera-Nebbiolo blend. The palate shows remarkable finesse for 2015's warm vintage, with silky texture and energetic acidity that lifts the fruit. Altare's restraint pays dividends here, keeping the wine's natural richness in check.
