Hand-destemming creates something genuinely unique here - a Barolo with uncommon polish and grace. Wild cherry and rose petal lift beautifully from the glass, while cedar and blood orange add exotic complexity. The tannins show remarkable refinement for such a young Nebbiolo, creating depth without heaviness. Among the finest expressions of this distinctive bottling. Drink 2026-2038.

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.
