"The 2000 Barolo Arborina is impossible to resist. Layers of dark, sensual fruit wrap around the palate effortlessly in this intense, layered Barolo. This shows more depth and richness than the straight Barolo, with just as much class. Altare’s 2000 Barolo Arborina represents the height of elegance."

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.
