This 2015 Barolo from Elio Altare, crafted from 100% Nebbiolo, presents a powerful yet elegant aromatic profile. Expect intense notes of red cherry, raspberry, and dried rose petals, beautifully complemented by undertones of tar, licorice, and damp earth, with hints of spice and balsamic developing with age. On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, with bright, refreshing acidity and firm, assertive tannins that signify its age-worthiness. Flavors of sour cherry, plum, and a savory minerality lead to a remarkably long, complex, and evolving finish.
