Elio Altare La Villa 2020

Barolo, Italy
8.0
WineSaint
Dense and muscular, with the Barbera component driving a core of dark plum and blackberry fruit. Rose and spice notes provide lift, while firm tannins grip the palate with serious intent. The wine feels coiled and powerful, holding back its full expression. Needs cellaring to show its true character.
