This wine delivers the goods. The 2013 Barolo Arborina is a complete and centered wine that opens to an enchanting blast of exuberant fruit. The bouquet is redolent of dark cherry and blackberry, and those aromas are thick enough to balance out the wine's savory and oak-driven side. These elements come together with seamless integration. The wine offers an important sense of textural balance as well. It feels thick, but not heavy. It shows richness but is also buoyant and bright at the same time. This is an excellent wine from the unstoppable force that is Elio Altare.

This is developing, revealing aromas and flavors of vanilla, caramel, cherry jam, tobacco and spice. Rich and soft in texture, with light tannins on the finish. Best from 2019 through 2030. 500 cases made.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
