Barolo Arborina

Elio Altare's Barolo Arborina 2011 displays a brilliant ruby-red color with garnet reflections. The nose is aromatic, offering notes of red berries, dried roses, and exotic spices, layered with hints of tobacco and underbrush. Medium-bodied, the wine showcases silky tannins that integrate seamlessly with the vibrant acidity, providing a smooth and balanced palate. Flavors of cherry, raspberry, and a touch of licorice unfold gracefully, leading to a persistent finish marked by a subtle minerality and a hint of leather. This vintage is approachable now but will reward further aging for 10-15 years.
