"The 2019 Barolo is bright and brilliant in the glass, with lovely aromatic presence and balance. Aromatic and full-bodied, with magnificent balance, the 2019 will be easy to drink and enjoy young. Crushed red fruit, blood orange, mint, cinnamon, pomegranate, cedar and sweet floral notes up front. This is a classy Barolo from Altare". (Vinous 2023)
