Elio Altare is a renowned producer in the Barolo region, known for pioneering modern winemaking techniques in Piedmont. The Barolo Arborina is crafted from 100% Nebbiolo grapes, so urced from the esteemed Arborina vineyard in La Morra. This wine undergoes fermentation in stainless steel tanks followed by aging in French oak barrels, which imparts a subtle oak influence while preserving the grape's natural characteristics. The wine exhibits a complex flavor profile with notes of red cherries, roses, and truffles, supported by firm tannins and vibrant acidity. It pairs beautifully with rich dishes such as braised meats and aged cheeses. Show more
