Elio Altare Barolo Arborina 2019

Red
Barolo, Italy
8.0
WineSaint

Brooding and monumental, this Arborina shows black fruit, mineral graphite and violet in a somber, introspective style. Formidable tannins create an almost austere character that demands serious cellaring. This is Altare's most powerful expression. Built for the long haul. Cellar 2027-2045.

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.
