Winery Elio Altare

The Altare family, originally from Dogliani, moved to La Morra in the years following 1948. Elio Altare introduced radical changes after experiences abroad, shifting the family estate toward more modern cellar techniques and a style of Barolo recognized internationally. Today the estate remains family-run, with the daughters involved in its operations.

Production oriented toward naturalness: vineyards managed without the systematic use of chemicals, fertilized with manure, fermentations with indigenous yeasts, natural malolactic fermentation, limited use of sulfites and no fining or filtration. Not declared biodynamic, but traditional methods are preferred and there is respect for the landscape and for staff health.

La Morra, in the Langhe area of Piedmont; vineyards in historic crus used for the various Barolo labels and other local wines such as Langhe Nebbiolo, Barbera and Dolcetto.

Elio Altare's wines have received very high scores from critics and industry publications.
