Fratelli Alessandria 'Commune del Verduno' Barolo DOCG, 2021 (1.5L)

Regular price $162.00

This is the cellar-stuffer.  If you're going to lay some Barolo into the gas tank to have on hand and crush with a nice steak, or at the end of a long week, this is IT.  Indeed, in recent memory at a tasting with Shop friends/clients and winemaker Vittore Alessandria, while we had open some truly fabulous wines stretching back into the '90s, the showstopper of the evening, for me and others, was a 2006 bottling of this wine, Alessandria's more minor expression...absolutely delicious and age-worthy!

Details

Wine Advocate (94): Fruit for the Fratelli Alessandria 2021 Barolo del Comune di Verduno comes from five vineyard sites in Verduno: Riva Rocca, Rocche dell'Olmo, Campasso, Pisapola and Boscato. This was the first Barolo del Comune di Verduno to hit the market (with the 2017 vintage). The bouquet focuses on redcurrant and tart cherry, and there is a pinch of cinnamon buried in there as well. This is a pretty Barolo that manages elegance and an easy-drinking style. This 20,000 bottle release ages in Slavonian and French oak botti for three years. The 2021 Barolo del Comune di Verduno is a blend of five vineyards across the village. Aromatic and polished yet also wonderfully deep, the 2021 is shaping up to be a real beauty. There's gorgeous density here, not to mention tons of personality.

This family has been making Barolo continuously for more than 100 years. Experience combined with a fresh approach introduced by Vittore (in charge of vinification since 2001) that defies being defined as either traditional or modern, has brought this estate to the highest level in Barolo. The vineyards of Verduno are predisposed toward elegant, “Burgundian” styled Barolo, and the meticulous low yield farming they employ adds a hint of power to the natural finesse. They are simply stunning across the board; power, complexity, elegance and value, yes you can have them all.
