Cavalier Bartolomeo, ‘Altenasso’ Barolo 2016

“Garnet red with distinctive orange glares that become more evident with ageing. Quite intense, persistent and delicate, with hints of blueberry, black plum and slight trances of candied orange peel, dired almonds, woody and boisè moods” – Wine maker

Producer

The company was founded in 1924 by Cavalier Bartolomeo, who learned to make wine from the grapes of his own vineyards thanks to his father. Three generations later, most of the vines have been renewed – except for those belonging to the Nebbiolo da Barolo, which remained intact and untouched; the cellar was modernized and improved with the introduction of barriques as well as new and more sophisticated means of fermentation. As of today the winery produces a total of 15,000 bottles per year. The company is situated in the heart of the Barolo area in the small hamlet of Garbelletto, beneath the town of Castiglione Falletto.
