Barolo DOCG 2022

The Barolo DOCG by Elio Altare (La Morra) stands as a monumental turning point in modern Italian winemaking—the definitive emblem of the 'Barolo Boys' movement, which redefined Nebbiolo across the Langhe. Crafted from select vineyards spanning the communes of La Morra, Castiglione Falletto, and Serralunga d'Alba, this wine marries the perfume and supple grace of La Morra with the structure and depth of neighboring crus, offering a harmonious and modern expression of Barolo terroir. Cellar protocols showcase the pioneering vision established by Elio and carried forward by his daughter Silvia: short, precise skin macerations (4 to 5 days) in rotary fermenters, spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, followed by approximately 24 months of maturation in French oak barriques (with a restrained proportion of new oak). Elio Altare's classic Barolo is celebrated worldwide for its remarkable purity, lush fruit expression, silky polished tannins, and immediate elegance.
