Barolo, Piemonte
AltreVie is the newest project from GianLuca Colombo and Federico Scarzello, inspired by the French negoce. They are passionate about scouting amazing vineyards in Langhe and Roero.
The grapes selected for the AltreVie project come from only the best vineyards of dolcetto, arneis, barbera and nebbiolo.
They started this journey in 2021 and are excited for the wines to be born out of it.
The dolcetto combines grapes from one of Gianluca’s oldest vineyards (50%) and from a top vineyard on the highest hill of the municipality of Barolo (50%).
The arneis is grown in a very sandy and sunny vineyard in the Roero.
Both wines are aged in anfora.
As a blend of single vineyards, the Altre Vie Barolo is always more approachable when young and with softer tannins. It is the Barolo as "it just to be" in the past. In fact until 40 years ago the Barolo was always a blend of vineyards located in the different subzones.
