Descrizione

Arborina di Elio Altare presents a sober, elegant profile typical of great Barolo: the sip is taut, supported by vibrant acidity and fine tannins that define its structure without weighing it down. On the nose there are impressions of small ripe red fruits, rose petal and hints of sweet spice and leather; the texture is complex but never coarse, with a progression that alternates earthy notes and a savoriness that invites a second sip. A mineral finish and a subtle tobacco note complete the picture.

On the palate you appreciate the precision and purity of the fruit, with persistence that balances warmth and freshness; it is a Barolo for contemplation as much as a companion to structured dishes: braises, roasted meats, aged cheeses or mushroom-based preparations. Serve at a cool cellar temperature, allowing it to breathe if already opened, to appreciate its finesse and its ability to evolve in the glass.
