What is very surprising to me is that the '99 Bartolo is also drinking amazingly well. It is a beautiful wine; complex and complete with fruit and soil in perfect balance. No doubt will improve, but if you are in pinch, don't hesitate to open it.
That is surprising.
Yes, I don't know, maybe it is just a phase and the wine will shut down, but I've been enjoying this at a few restaurants around NYC for ~4+ months and it's been beautiful.

What languages are you comfortable conversing in? That will make a difference, too.

I will be traveling with someone fluent in Italian, so there isn't really a language barrier to speak of.
Looks like my trip is confirmed.

I would plan to visit Conterno, Brovia and then one of the modern producers to get a feel for both sides of the equation. I've never visited, but have met and very much like Luca Roagna.
In the past, I've been able to have spirited, but pleasant, discussions with Dominico Clerico about vineyard and cellar techniques. I would also recommend Mauro Veglio, who is right across the cul-de-sac from Altare and a direct disciple. He drinks widely, many things that I also like, such as Mugneret. It gives him an interesting perspective about modern techniques.
