Gorgeous energy from this Nebbiolo-Barbera blend. Wild cherry and cassis drive the palate with mineral undertones and worn leather complexity. The Barbera lifts with bright acidity while Nebbiolo's structure anchors the finish. Shows real sophistication for an unconventional blend.

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.
