Elio Altare

A pioneer in the Barolo region, Elio Altare is considered to be one of the greatest
winemakers in the world. Inspired by his first trip to Burgundy in 1976, he has lead the
way in producing modern-styled Barolos with reformed and truly innovative cellar and
vinification techniques, including the use of rotary fermenters, small barriques and short
maceration periods.
Today, this 10-hectare estate is run by Silvia, and employs a more organic approach to
viticulture and the production of Elio Altare's very sought-after, but limited production,
Barolos.
