One of the 8 different wines produced by Barolo greats who then donate the proceeds to charity, the L'Insieme from Elio Altare is a decidedly new world-styled wine. Lots of spice and dark fruit aromas, along with mint and pine. The palate is big, juicy and fruity. The new oak notes could use a little time to soften, but this wine is plush and soft enough to enjoy right away.
