With fruit from the Altare family's historic vineyard, with rows that descend from the panoramic terrace in front of the tasting room, comes the 2019 Barolo Arborina. This wine boasts a unique flavor profile with more emphasis on tart fruit, cassis and crisp cherry. The wine is soft and velvety to the palate, and it shows finely integrated tannins coupled with a solid textural frame. Arborina is not one of the historic crus of the appellation, but it is an excellent site that is celebrated for its consistent wines.

This is bursting with red berries -- strawberry, currant and cherry -- shaded by floral and rose hip accents. Firm and lively, with a sleek frame and a long, fruit-tinged aftertaste. Fine energy and harmony. Best from 2025 through 2042. 415 cases made, 45 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add

The finish is long and linear, ending with a powerful 15% alcohol. This vintage saw 6,200 bottles released.
