critic reviews

93/100Monica Larner,Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The Elio Altare 2018 Langhe La Villa is a blend of Barbera from Larigi and Nebbiolo from Arborina. This is a dark and saturated red wine that boasts high intensity, dark fruit, plum, soft leather, spice and sweet tobacco. This is a wine of volume and generous layering that unfolds slowly over the palate with extra richness and texture.
