The marly soils rich in clay and sand, together with south and south-east exposures, contribute to both finesse and depth. Fermented with short maceration in rotary fermenters and aged for 24 months in French barriques, the wine reflects Altare’s precise and modern approach to Barolo.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn the glass, it shows a very intense ruby red color with garnet reflections.
