The Barolo DOCG Arborina by Elio Altare represents one of the most elegant and profound expressions of Nebbiolo grown in the prestigious Langhe territory, in Piedmont. Coming from historic vineyards in the Arborina area, this cru highlights the uniqueness of the terroir through meticulous winemaking and careful aging in oak barrels, which confer structure and complexity to the wine. In the glass, it shows an intense garnet red color, while on the nose it reveals sophisticated aromas of withered roses, sweet spices, tobacco, and balsamic notes, typical of well-ripened Nebbiolo. On the palate it is enveloping, with a silky yet present tannic texture, capable of supporting and enhancing a long persistence. Ideal paired with traditional Piedmontese dishes such as braised beef in Barolo or aged cheeses, this Barolo magnum enhances every special occasion with its timeless elegance.

A wine that tells the story of the Alba territory with balance and great finesse, perfect for those seeking a high-quality and personality-filled Barolo DOCG.
