Elio Altare Barolo Cannubi 2021

Red
Barolo, Italy

Inky and powerful, built like a fortress. Blackberry and cassis drive through layers of tobacco, tar and iron minerality. The tannins are formidable but ripe, demanding patience. A muscular Cannubi that will reward cellaring through 2041.

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.
