“Giàrborina” Rosso Langhe DOC 2020

Elio Altare | Piedmont
Az. Agr. Elio Altare | Cascina Nuova 51 | IT 12064 La Morra

This wine is practically a Barolo, except for the fact that it is released a year earlier. Langhe Giàrborina draws its fruit from the top Arborina site in La Morra. Blackberries and plums are surrounded by smoke, tar and black liquorice in the most refined and elegant way. A magnificent, single-varietal Nebbiolo, impeccably balanced, impressively elegant and with a promising future. SUPERIORE.DE

"This wine is a 100% Nebbiolo, made like a Barolo but released a year earlier. This wine always gives you a good idea of what to expect the following year when the Barolos are actually released. The Elio Altare 2020 Langhe Giàrborina definitely hints at warmer, sun-drenched fruit with ripe cherry flavours and a fairly soft texture. Maceration times have been shortened and barrel ageing fine-tuned to adapt to the warm fruit of the vintage. This vintage is more approachable overall." Wine Advocate

"The Langhe Giarborina 2020 is bright and exuberant in the glass, with striking aromatic presence and plenty of class. The purity of the aromas is simply irresistible. Crushed red berry fruit, mint, blood orange, chalk and white pepper give the 2020 its distinctive perfume. A little new oak still needs to integrate, but that shouldn't be a problem in a few years."
