Elio Altare was an early maverick in Barolo who bucked tradition in favour of modern techniques like lower yields, green harvesting & the use of French oak, all in an effort to raise the quality of the region’s already prestigious wines. Others have since followed suit and his daughter Silvia now leads the legendary winery, here with this showstopping Barolo that only recently was labelled Riserva despite the wine always being made the same way – 24 months in a third new oak with an additional two years in bottle before release. Darker, spicier and powerfully aristocratic with a dense, luscious texture and velveteen gloss.
