WineSaint

Graceful and restrained, this Barbera shows remarkable elegance for the vintage. Red cherries and violets emerge with crushed herbs and baking spice. The tannins are polished, the acidity bright and lifting. Shows beautiful tension between ripeness and freshness. Give it 3-5 years to fully develop.

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.
