Elio Altare - Barolo Arborina 2012

93+/100

Robert Parker

“The 2012 Arborina Barolo is a full-bodied, harmonious wine that really delivers. With exemplary precision, the grapes were harvested exactly 33 days after flowering. The rich aromas of dried cherry, spices, tar, cola, and licorice become more intense. Only a portion of the wine is aged in new barrels. The texture is silky and firm. The result is balanced and full-bodied. It is a classic, well-rounded Barolo that showcases the best aspects of the vintage.” (Wine Advocate 2016 - Robert Parker)
