Wild cherry and lavender lift from the glass with striking purity. The palate shows beautiful tension. Mineral-driven and precise, with dried herbs and a saline edge that speaks to Giarborina's distinctive terroir. Coiled energy defines this youthful expression, though the fine-grained tannins suggest graceful evolution ahead. Drink 2025-2030.

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.
