Description
The refinement and aromatic richness of a Barolo wine
The estate
The history of the Elio Altare winery dates back to 1948, when Joseph Altare acquired 5 hectares of vineyards in La Morra, with the ambition of producing fine Piedmont wines.
Following a trip to Burgundy in 1976, Elio Altare, Joseph's grandson, gradually modernised the estate's practices, regarding both the winemaking practices and the ageing. A major player in the reputation of the estate beyond its borders, Elio Altare produces wines that harmoniously blend elegance, finesse and balance.
