Elio Altare Barolo 2022
Juicy and forward, this 2022 Barolo leads with sweet red cherry, blood orange, rose petal and new leather, fruit-driven and generous in a way that invites early drinking. The tannins are present but pliant, with enough structure to support the wine without slowing it down. Fresh acidity keeps things lively through a spice-laced finish. Drawn from four sites, Sarmassa, Bricco Ambrogio, Sorano and Perno, it shows the warmth of the vintage without sacrificing Nebbiolo's characteristic lift. Drink now through 2034.
