"Altare’s 2000 Barolo is fabulous. Round, sweet and caressing on the palate, the Barolo impresses for its impeccable balance, and fresh, vibrant fruit. There is not a hint of oxidation or French oak in this impeccable Barolo. The 2000 is just approaching the early part of what looks to be a very long drinking window."

Italy grows more indigenous grape varieties than any other country and produces wine in all 20 of its regions. From Piedmont's Nebbiolo to Tuscany's Sangiovese, its finest wines pair structure and bright acidity with a strong sense of place.
In Italy's northwest, Piedmont is home to Nebbiolo, the grape behind the powerful, perfumed and long-lived reds of Barolo and Barbaresco. Fog-shrouded hills and calcareous soils define its greatest wines.
The 'King of Wines,' a powerful, tannic and perfumed Nebbiolo from Piedmont's Langhe hills, celebrated for tar-and-roses aromatics and extraordinary aging potential.
