    La Morra, calcareous sandy soils, north-eastern slopes – this is where the 20 to 40-year-old Dolcetto vines for Elio Altareclassic grow. The Barolo revolutionary, who shook up the Langhe with Burgundian vinification methods in the 1970s, remains true to his Dolcetto: a wine for every day, as the farmers have been drinking it with pasta for generations. Maceration takes just two to three days in rotary fermenters at a controlled temperature, after which the grapes mature for ten months in stainless steel tanks – puristic, without the influence of wood.

    Intense violet colour in the glass, aromas of violets and black cherry, dry but gentle on the palate with delicate tannins. Medium-bodied, juicy, with full cherry fruit – an uncomplicated pleasure that also shines slightly chilled in summer. Altareanswer to the question: What is the perfect everyday wine? Exactly this Dolcetto, nothing to add! SUPERIORE.DE

    "The 2024 Dolcetto d'Alba is a racy, juicy wine, like those of the past before climate change became so determinant. Succulent red cherry/plum fruit, sweet spice and new leather are front and center. Bright acids pull it all together on the perky finish. Aging in steel keeps the flavors bright." Vinous
