The Fratelli Alessandria Barolo Monvigliero 2020 is a wine of remarkable elegance and perfume, a true expression of the highly prized Monvigliero cru. On the nose, it offers vibrant and perfumed notes of crushed wild strawberries, raspberries, and red cherries, accented by layers of dried roses, white pepper, cinnamon, and a hint of savory herbs. The palate is beautifully balanced and refined, with a silky, medium-bodied texture, tart red fruit flavors, a snappy spine of bright acidity, and ultra-fine, yet structured tannins that lead to a long, expansive, and distinctly mineral finish. This highly age-worthy Barolo can be enjoyed now after decanting or cellared for another 15-20 years.
The Fratelli Alessandria estate is a historic, family-owned winery located in the village of Verduno, one of the northernmost communes in the Barolo DOCG region. The winery has been producing wine since the mid-1800s and is currently run by the fifth generation of the family. They are known for their traditional approach to winemaking, focusing on showcasing the distinct terroir of their various cru holdings, particularly those in Verduno (like their famed Monvigliero vineyard) and Monforte d'Alba (like Gramolere). The family is dedicated to minimal intervention, allowing their Nebbiolo grapes to express purity and elegance characteristic of their specific sites.
