Rating: Robert Parker 95/100
“Elio Altare’s 2008 Barolo is magnificent for the way it combines layers of lush black fruit within the medium-bodied style of the 2008 vintage. Aromas of dark red cherry, flowers, spices, and mineral notes emerge among others in this beautiful Barolo with polished tannins. This 2008 is the embodiment of class and elegance. Elio Altare presents us with a stellar collection of wines in this vintage.” (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker)
