Description
One of the wineries that is part of the history of Barolo and Piedmont is Fratelli Alessandria, which has always been located in the small town of Verduno and a bold wine producer. Founded in 1830 by Giuseppe Dabbene, they were among the first to gain recognition for their wines and growing techniques as early as the time of the Savoy Kingdom. The turning point came in 1893 with the change of name to “Fratelli Alessandria” after a joint marriage between the Dabbene and Alessandria families, there was a change of direction with the intent to produce better wines every year making it one of the flagship wineries of the Langhe to this day. In 12 hectares of property distributed in some of the best Cru since 1976, such as Monvigliero in Verduno and later Gramolere in Monforte, they grow Nebbiolo and Barbera but also Pelaverga, a native red grape highly valued in the area. Very traditional in work with high territorial values in which there is no invasive intervention during the process from the vineyard to the cellar that allow for powerful and identifiable wines.
