producer

Elio Altar

The winery was purchased in 1948 by grandfather Giuseppe Altare. At the beginning, besides the vines, peaches, apples, and hazelnuts were also cultivated. In 1976, the current owner Elio joined the winery and decided to plant the entire estate with vines. Elio's first years in the business were marked by the severe crisis in Italy. Not an easy time for the winegrowers in Piedmont. So Elio decided with some friends in the same year to discover the miracle of Burgundy vinification for himself. The trip to France motivated him so much that he left traditional vinification aside and turned to new methods. The success of his wines, which continues to this day, has proven him right. Production amounts to about 70,000 bottles. Elio Altare has received the Tre Bicchieri award from Gambero Rosso several times and for his Barolo Brunate 2004 even 97 points from Robert Parker.
