Elio Altare Barolo Arborina 2021
Clear, rich ruby colour. Open and inviting on the nose, initially with earthy notes, black truffles, then roses and raspberries, memorable. Polished and straightforward on the palate, opens continuously, vivid fruit, fine texture, precise and long in the finish, firm drive. Fresh nose, rose petals, flowers, ethereal, light, and sweet. Warm and elegant, with smooth but intense tannins.
96 Points - Wine Spectator
A lean, taut style, boasting cherry, strawberry, blackberry, iron and tobacco flavors. Firms up, yet the tannins are refined and well-integrated with the entire profile. Offers fine, mouthwatering length. Best from 2030 through 2048.Â
94 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The Elio Altare 2021 Barolo Arborina shows sweet spice and cinnamon from 24 months in barrique with 20% new oak. This adds nice contouring to expertly ripened fruit, with generous cherry, black plum and cassis. Those fruity tones complement other aromas of spice, licorice and tar. Arborina always shows a classical side of Nebbiolo, not too strong and not too lean. This comes from the historic Altare family vineyard in front of the winery in La Morra.Â
