Score 93/100 · Drink 2013-2022, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Dec 2007

Altare's 2005 Langhe Arborina comes across as unusually soft for a young Nebbiolo. It is a perfumed, elegant wine with generous sweet red fruit, subtle notes of French oak and lovely poise. This graceful Nebbiolo should be accessible fairly early.

(made from nebbiolo) Full red. Highly aromatic nose combines redcurrant, dried rose and tobacco. Supple, creamy, fat and sweet, with lovely body for young nebbiolo. This offers compelling inner-mouth perfume. The long finish is firmly tannic yet the overall impression is of a rather soft and accessible nebbiolo.
