Fratelli Alessandria Description
Since the mid-19th century, the Alessandria family has called Verduno, at the northern edge of the Barolo zone, home. Then, Verduno was the center of Barolo winemaking—here families first crafted dry Nebbiolo wines in the style we know today. Because of this, the village was internationally recognized as the face of Barolo. Today Verduno is experiencing a renaissance, and it is the “brothers” Alessandria who are guiding the wines of Verduno back to the heights they once held. What Verduno gives is exactly what we crave in our Barolo wines: complexity without heaviness, structure with finesse. “Fratelli Alessandria is one of Piedmont’s under-the-radar jewels,” says Antonio Galloni of Vinous.
A selection of younger vines from two well-placed, cooler vineyards in Verduno. Plush fruit, perfect balance; summer ripeness through and through.
Tasting Note: Aromas of red cherries, red plums, baking spices. Juicy, layered, light tannins.
Wine Pairing: Grilled chicken; gnocchi with gorgonzola sauce; salumi with truffles
Vinous: 90 Points
The 2022 Barbera d'Alba is a gorgeous, red-fruited, floral wine. Aging in cement and steel keeps the flavors brisk and silky tannins wrap it all together. This is a gorgeous Barbera.
