    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Elio Altare, Langhe Rosso Giarborina, 2021

    One of the best we have tasted here, the Giaborina 2021 is beautifully supple and pliant with a wash of steeped strawberry, wild flowers and cherry stones inspiring a nice high toned feel with bright, sculpted tannin and acidity. 100% Nebbiolo produced from two plots in the Arborina vineyard, one from the 1940s and one from the 1980s, fermented and aged in 100% new oak barrique for 18 months.

    ABV:
    13%
    94/100
    Antonio Galloni, Vinous
    The 2021 Langhe Giarborina is Altare's Nebbiolo done with a shorter maceration and less time in wood—100% new oak, as always. Bright and articulate on the palate, with compelling energy, the 2021 is wonderfully refined from start to finish. Crushed rose petal, cedar, spice, tobacco and mint grace the vibrant finish. Give the nervy tannins a few years to soften.
