Elio Altare produces highly acclaimed Barolos in La Morra, Italy. Elio Altare himself owns and operates the 25-acre estate with his wife and two daughters, and he is one of Piedmont’s modern masters of winemaking. Robert M. Parker Jr. calls Altare “a catalyst of change in Piedmont and a touchstone for young producers looking to produce high-quality, more modern-style wines…He is making some of the most magnificent wines in Italy.” Altare grows Nebbiolo d’Alba, Barbera d’Alba, Dolcetto d’Alba and Cabernet Sauvignon. His signature wines are the Barolo Arborina and Barolo Brunate, but he also makes well-respected proprietary red. Elio Altare produces about 7,000 bottles of Barolo annually.
