    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    A more animated, dynamic incarnation of La Villa, the 2021 is lifted in style with a predominance of fresh, lightly crushed berries rounded by touches of mocha and spice. A blend of 60% Nebbiolo and 40% Barbera from Arborina, fermented and aged in 100% new oak barriques for 18 months. The name La Villa is taken from the original plot for this wine in Monforte d’Alba. Many moons ago they lost the lease on that vineyard but trademarked the name for the blend.

    Antonio Galloni,

    The 2021 La Villa is Altare's Barbera/Nebbiolo blend. It is one of the very few wines in its peer group that remains compelling. If anything, the blend is more intriguing than the two individual components (Larigi and Giarborina). Supple and vibrant, with tons of energy, La Villa shines in 2021.
