Elio Altare Larigi 2022

Red
Barolo, Italy
8.0
WineSaint

Silky waves of blackberry and espresso flow with remarkable ease, lifted by violet aromatics that add elegance to the wine's inherently generous character. The absence of hard edges makes this irresistibly approachable, though 2-3 years will reward patience. Pure hedonism wrapped in polished technique.

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.
