Elio Altare, Barolo docg 2017

Die Weintrauben für diesen Barolo kommen aus unterschiedlichen Dörfer, also nicht nur aus La Morra, wo das Weingut sitzt. Somit hat man hier die Charaktere von verschiedenen Böden und Microclima zusammen. Man spürt schon den Power und die feste Struktur von Serralunga und Castiglione Falletto, behält der Barolo trotzdem seine Seidigkeit und Finesse. Also hier hat man einen guten Mix aus Power, Druck und Eleganz.

"The 2017 Barolo is absolutely impeccable and shows why Altare remains at the top of the pack. Silky, aromatic and alluring, the 2017 is exquisitely beautiful. It is a bit lighter in body than usual, but that is very much in keeping with the style of the year. Crushed flowers, sweet red berries and rose petal grace the silky finish. The straight Barolo isa blend of sites in La Morra, Castiglione Falletto and Novello." Antonio Galloni - Vinous

"Representing a blend of fruit from Barolo, Castiglione Falletto, La Morra and Novello, the Elio Altare 2017 Barolo sets off the vintage on the right foot. Of course, 2017 delivered all kinds of extreme weather, from frost to dry heat, but this battle-ready Barolo emerges unscathed. Save for the high 15% alcohol content, this wine avoids the classic trappings of a hot vintage. The fruit is not dried out, nor is it jammy. Indeed, this wine shows better balance than most, with a lovely freshness to all that dark and luscious fruit." Monica Larner -Robert Parker
