Striking Nebbiolo from Elio Altare

by Simon Evans | Jul 11, 2023
Elio Altare

"Elio Altare’s small estate is perched atop the Arborina vineyard in La Morra’s Rocche dell’Annunziata district. Arborina Barolos are marked by their expressive aromatics and tannic backbone, which gives the wines their energy and drive...

The wines are forward, fruit-driven and built on texture.In most vintages, Altare's top bottlings start drinking well around age ten or so.So far, history has shown that the wines age gracefully for at least several decades."

"The 2021 Dolcetto d'Alba is all class. Juicy dark plums, cloves, licorice and lavender are front and center. This succulent, racy Dolcetto is an absolute delight. I especially like the energy here. Altare's Dolcetto is once again a real highlight in 2021."

"The 2021 Barbera d'Alba is packed with jammy dark red fruit, spice, mocha and crushed flowers. Supple and juicy, with tons of fruit, the 2021 is a fine choice for drinking now and over the next handful of years."

"The 2021 Langhe Nebbiolo is a fabulous entry-level wine from Altare. Succulent red cherry fruit, rose petal, orange peel and spice all meld together effortlessly. This mid-weight, supple Langhe Nebbiolo is a winner."

"The 2019 Barolo is bright and effusive in the glass, with lovely aromatic presence and fine balance.Aromatic and broad, with gorgeous balance, the 2019 will be easy to drink and enjoy young. Crushed red berry fruit, blood orange, mint, cinnamon, pomegranate, cedar and sweet floral top notes. This is such a classy Barolo from Altare."
