Elio Altare, Langhe Rosso DOC Giarborina 2014

"The 2014 Langhe Giarborina (Nebbiolo) is gorgeous. Ample and intense, with quite a bit more depth than the Larigi, the Giarborina exudes class. Sweet red cherry, plum, spice, mint and pomegranate infuse the creamy, layered finish. All the elements fall into place effortlessly. The success of Nebbiolo in this vintage comes through loud and clear. The Giarborina is an unqualified success for the year. " - Antonio Galloni

"A pure expression of Nebbiolo that offers impressive intensity, brightness and clarity of fruit. This wine has survived the difficult vintage intact. Silvia Altare calls 2014 a farmers' vintage: "It really forces you to work in the vineyard." This is a rich and textured wine that is infused with blackberry, dried cherry and mild spice." - Wine Advocate
