WINE DESCRIPTION

Elio Altare Unoperuno Barolo is a premium wine produced by Elio Altare, a renowned winemaker from the Piedmont region of Italy. This wine is made from Nebbiolo grapes grown in the Barolo appellation, which is known for its unique terroir and ideal growing conditions for this grape variety. The vineyards are located on steep hillsides with a mix of clay and limestone soils, which impart a distinct minerality to the wine. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in oak barrels for several years. The resulting wine is elegant and complex, with notes of red fruit, spices, and earthy undertones. It is a perfect representation of the classic Barolo style, with a long and lingering finish.
