Rich and expansive, with the Barbera component driving unusual creaminess through the mid-palate. Cherry, rose petals and sweet spice flow with surprising early charm for Altare. The wine favors texture over structure, offering immediate pleasure rather than the firm backbone typical of this producer. Harmonious drinking should arrive within two years.

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.
