Red fruit and violet aromatics show appealing lift, though the wine lacks Altare's typical density. Rain before harvest clearly impacted concentration, leaving a more delicate expression with soft tannins and bright acidity. Fresh and charming in its lightness.

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.
