Dark cherry and spice flow with remarkable energy, the Barbera lifting Nebbiolo's structure into something genuinely exciting. This unconventional blend achieves what the separate bottlings cannot. Vivid fruit married to serious backbone without any of 2021's typical heaviness. The synthesis feels natural and compelling.

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.
