Review

"Pure, fresh, red strawberry and cherry fruit with warming kirsch notes. A brilliant interplay between silky red fruit and a crisp, chiselled tannic structure. This is a seductive, beautiful and impeccably poised Barolo. Just as the Altares' share-cropping agreement for Brunate ended, they reach a deal to lease some well-placed vines in the original, middle part of Cannubi." - 96pts, Wine Advocate
