Barolo DOCG 2018 - Elio Altare

Why I suggest Barolo DOCG 2018

Close to the Annunziata Abbey in La Morra. Elio Altare continues to make gentle and delicate Barolos, in line with what he represents, that is the founder of the Barolo boys. Long periods of maceration are thus avoided. With the use of small French barrels, the maturation period is accelerated. The result is an immediate wine, easier to drink, less demanding. In contrast to Mascarello, Beppe Rinaldi, Sobrero, Bruno Giacosa or Renato Ratti. Together with him, Domenico Clerico, Scavino, Voerzio.

Sommelier:

A nice dark red a little tired with a garnet edge. The nose is decidedly balsamic with a nice minerality and the smell of wine. Elegant and dry mouth. Rough and concrete. Bitter cocoa. Tannins still well present.
