Dark cherry and espresso drive this compelling blend, with mocha and licorice adding welcome complexity. The marriage of Barbera's vibrant fruit and Nebbiolo's firm structure shows Altare's skill, though the tannins need time to soften. Built for the cellar. Drink 2024-2028.

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.
