Elio Altare : Barolo 2021

The vibrancy and balance of a Barolo wine

The estate

The history of the Elio Altare winery dates back to 1948, when Joseph Altare acquired 5 hectares of vineyards in La Morra, with the ambition of producing great wines from Piedmont.

Following a trip to Burgundy in 1976, Elio Altare, Joseph’s grandson, gradually ushered in a profound modernization of practices at the estate, both in winemaking and aging. A key figure in elevating the estate’s reputation beyond its borders, Elio Altare unveils wines that harmoniously combine elegance, finesse, and balance.
