Fratelli Alessandria 'San Lorenzo di Verduno' Barolo DOCG, 2021 (1.5L)

Fratelli Alessandria 'San Lorenzo di Verduno' Barolo DOCG, 2021 (1.5L)

Regular price $224.00

This is my favorite wine from this producer, my friend Vittore.  This is not the richest, nor the flashiest, nor the darkest, nor the most tannic...but, to me, this wine is just about perfect...every year.  You should treat yourself.

The San Lorenzo vineyard lies in Verduno, adjacent to the celebrated Monvigliero cru, sharing a southern exposure but positioned at a slightly lower elevation with gentler slopes. The soils are predominately limestone and silt, influenced by the “marne di Sant’Agata,” lending finesse and a precise mineral character.

Details

Wine Advocate (94): This wine was introduced in 1997 and was the first single-vineyard expression from this MGA site. The Fratelli Alessandria 2021 Barolo San Lorenzo di Verduno (with 5,000 bottles created) has a sweet side with nutmeg and tobacco, but it also presents a solid core of cherry fruit and blackcurrant. This nicely balanced expression has more accessible tannins for medium-term drinking. The 2021 Barolo San Lorenzo di Verduno is a wine of translucence, elegance and finesse. Bright acids cut through a core of red/purplish fruit, chalk, slate, crushed rocks and white pepper. Rose petal, blood orange peel and mint resonate on the high-toned, intensely saline finish. San Lorenzo is often a potent Barolo, but in 2021, it comes across as especially finessed.

Vinous: 94-96

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.
