What to Expect

Barbaresco is a wine that shares much with its close neighbor Barolo. Both are made with the Nebbiolo grape and from nearly contiguous plots of vines in Piedmont. The slightly warmer climate of Barbaresco, and resulting earlier harvest, makes these wines a touch lighter and less complex than Barolo, if more elegant and earlier maturing. They share much the same flavor profile with their siblings though tend to be less intense.

Elio Altare is one of the fathers of modern winemaking in Barolo. He uses rotary fermenters, shorter maceration periods, and new oak to give his wines a plush quality that makes them easily accessible. A richer style of Dolcetto.
