Arborina Barolo
Elio Altare · Piemonte, Italy
About This Wine
Elio Altare is a legendary pioneer of the 'modernist' movement in Barolo, famous for introducing shorter macerations and French barriques to soften Nebbiolo's fierce tannins. The Arborina Barolo is a very full-bodied, intensely aromatic Italian red from Piemonte. Defined by high acidity and a robust 14.5% ABV, it beautifully marries traditional Nebbiolo structure with a plush, modern texture. This profoundly elegant and deeply concentrated wine is a perfect match for rich pasta dishes, beef, lamb, and wild game meat.
