Description

"Elio Altare is now one of the elder statesmen of the Langhe, the kind of guy younger vintners go to for inspiration. Since the 1970s he has been a technological and viticultural pacesetter in a tradition-bound zone." – David Lynch, Vino Italiano

The style at Altare is for intensely perfumed, elegant, and finessed Barberas and Nebbiolos, framed smartly in French oak. Altare vines are located in the village of La Morra where he produces the crus of Arborina, Brunate and a highly collectable Barbera named Larigi. These are top-quality, serious Barberas not to be missed.

The 2008 Elio Altare Arborina Langhe was produced from 100% Nebbiolo Arborina has a fine, complex nose with ample, deep aromas of ripe cherry, mint, pepper, and coffee. It’s dry on the palate with a warm, soft mouthfeel, and packed with rich flavors. Aged in 100% new French barriques for 18 months.
