The Winemakers
“Moving from such a high number of wines, coming from so different areas, every harvest, we can select those most suitable to create the Altemasi cuvée. The Altemasi style is then expressed by a combination of sensations on the nose (with the harmony and balance between the primary fruit and spices aromas, the secondary aromas coming from the partial fermentation of the wines in barriques and finally the notes deriving from the yeasts) and on the palate (roundness, intensity, freshness and pleasantness), all sensations that we want to replicate year after year in our wines”. Paolo Turra, Altemasi winemaker.
