Elio Altare, Barolo docg Arborina 2015

Der Barolo Arborina 2015 zeigt Kraft und Nerv und gleichzeitig seine Eleganz. Die Tannine sind präsent aber fein geschlieffen. Im Duft frische rote Waldbeeren, unterlegt mit floralen Noten, Gewürze und Tabak. Am Gaumen ganz edel, fein und vielschichtig. Der Wein wird noch ein paar Jahren Lagerung brauchen.

"The 2015 Barolo Arborina is soft, pretty and sensual. The warmth of the vintage has softened the typically hard young Arborina tannins, which in turn gives the wine more near-term approachability than is often the case. Floral, cedar and tobacco notes add an attractive upper register to this very pretty and nuanced Barolo from Altare." Antonio Galloni - Vinous

"Tasted at the winery, I found the 2015 Barolo Arborina to be the most open and accessible of all the wines tasted during this session, perhaps to a fault. This vintage lacks some of the crunch and the nervousness of Nebbiolo in its youth, and I can't help but feel that the wine is slightly flattened out by the heat of the vintage. Dried berry and cherry is followed by spice and saddle leather. I am adjusting the drinking window downward as a result. Serve it alongside barbecued ribs." Monica Larner - Robert Parker
