Nicholas Altare 3 Bottiglie

Producer:Nicholas Altare

Wine Box of 3 bottles of red wine

Dolcetto 2020, Dolcetto

The grapes come from a clay-limestone soil, macerated on the skins for 3 weeks then 10 months in large Slavonian oak barrels. Pink and Purple, red fruits, undergrowth, mineral returns and spicy notes. Agile and thick, the full body is balanced by good acidity, the tannin is polite, the finish is long and savory

Langhe Nebbiolo 2020, Nebbiolo

The grapes come from a clay-limestone soil, macerate on the skins for 3 weeks then 10 months in large Slavonian oak barrels. Rose and Violet, Cherry, Currant and Raspberry, undergrowth, Champignon mushrooms, with mineral notes and black pepper. Full but fresh on the palate, balanced with noble tannins, it is elegant and very long

Langhe Barbera 2020, Barbera

The grapes come from clay-limestone soil, macerated on the skins for 3 weeks then 10 months in large Slavonian oak barrels. Pink and Violet, red fruits, undergrowth, mineral returns and spicy notes. Agile and thick, the full body is balanced by good acidity, the tannin is polite, the finish is long and savory

DOGLIANI (CN)

We are in Dogliani, or rather in San Luigi, in the center of the Dolcetto di Dogliani cultivation area; here Nicholas Altare cultivates his family’s vineyards, some of which are very old.

Nicholas “inherited” a company handed down from generation to generation, he has always had a strong passion for this world, but it was after meeting a master like Principiano Ferdinando, that he began producing artisanal wine from bottle.

It’s 2015 and Nicholas just couldn’t stand seeing his grapes sold in bulk, and it was in that year that the journey began.
