The 2001 Barolo is simply impeccable. Today the 2001 is starting to show just the faintest signs of tertiary development. Pretty notes of tobacco, flowers and mint add complexity to an expressive core of fruit. This is one of the more delicate, feminine vintages for Elio Altare’s Barolo. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2021. Elio Altare describes 2001 as a strong vintage with an early September rain that arrived at just the right moment. Over the years I have had the privilege to taste just about every wine made here. I have always been impressed with the ageworthiness of Altare’s Baroli, and his other wines, too, to tell the truth. These 2001 Baroli are all exceptional. I am thrilled to have a few bottles left.

Loads of fresh blackberry and cherry aromas to this young wine. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a caressing mouthfeel. Long finish. This is elegant and refined for a young Barolo. Best after 2007. 1,000 cases made, 400 cases imported.??–JS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
