WineSaint

Brooding and muscular, with cassis, tar, crushed rocks and tobacco building through a dense, almost impenetrable core. The tannins are formidable. This needs serious cellaring to reach its potential. Classic Arborina power wrapped in 2018's austere framework.

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.
