WineSaint
Red berries and crushed violets flow with remarkable purity across the palate. This draws from parcels in La Morra, Castiglione Falletto and Novello, showing Altare's signature finesse over power. Medium-bodied with polished tannins that never overwhelm the delicate fruit core. The vintage's restraint suits the house style perfectly.
