Massive and brooding, this is Altare's most serious bottling. Black fruit and mineral notes dominate, with tobacco, tar and crushed violets adding complexity. The tannins are imposing and will need every bit of two decades to soften. A monument built for the cellar. Drink 2035-2055.

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.
