2018 | Fratelli Alessandria | Barolo San Lorenzo di Verduno

Fluttering aromas of blue flower, cassis, candied grapefruit and white pepper. The bouquet is fragrant and lifted, giving way to a subtle but very elegant mouthfeel.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The Fratelli Alessandria 2018 Barolo San Lorenzo di Verduno opens to a delicate and ethereal personality with fluttering aromas of blue flower, cassis, candied grapefruit and white pepper. The bouquet is fragrant and lifted, giving way to a subtle but very elegant mouthfeel. The wine's texture is fine and incredibly polished.

• Wine & Spirits: This Barolo reveals a darker and more voluptuous side of Verduno, its sappy dark cherry flavors show ample concentration and ripeness as they take on notes of licorice and warm spice. For all its richness, the wine exhibits the impressive clarity and definition that characterize all of Alessandria family’s 2018 Barolos.

Producer Information

Fratelli Alessandria is a historic Piedmontese wine estate, located in the Langhe regio of northwest Italy. It was founded at the start of the 19th Century and has been the property of the Alessandria family since 1870. It focuses on the cultivation of the Nebbiolo grape variety under the Barolo DOCG, but also produces a range of wines from other local grape varieties including Dolcetto, Barbera, Favorita and the rare red grape Pelaverga. The estate covers 12 hectares (30 acres) of land in Verduno and Monforte d'Alba. There are a total of nine different vineyard plots with a variety of different terroirs. From these vineyards, Fratelli Alessandria produces a selection of Barolo wines, including three single-cru expressions, from the Monvigliero, San Lorenzo and Gramolere vineyards. In addition to its Barolo wine range, Alessandria also produces a collection of regional wines, including those under the Barbera d'Alba, Dolcetto d'Alba and Langhe titles, as well as a single Verduno Pelaverga wine from 3ha (7 acres) of vines.
