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—and 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 Italian wine expert Antonio Galloni.
A selection of fruit from vineyards Pisapola, Campasso, Riva Rocca, Boscatto and Rocche dell’Olmo in Verduno.
Tasting Note: Aromas of dark cherries, red plums, herbs, spices and warm leather. Structured yet silky, with fine-grained tannins.
Wine Pairing: Grilled steak; osso bucco; truffled dishes
Vinous: 88-90 Points
The 2020 Barolo del Comune di Verduno is a solid entry-level offering. Pretty and ethereal, with fine balance, the 2020 is wonderfully alluring right out of the gate. Dark cherry, plum, incense, licorice and dried herbs all grace this understated, classy Barolo.
