Fratelli Alessandria – Barolo Monvigliero – 2018

Mentioned already in old documents, Monvigliero is the most important Grand Cru of Verduno, a hill that enjoys exposure and altitude where the Nebbiolos derive very perfumed characteristics favored by soils rich in sand and silt. The winery owns 1.4 hectares with a production of a few thousand bottles a year since 1978, the vines are over 50 years old in privileged southwest exposure with the result of deep and long-lived wines. The best clusters are chosen and vinified in steel tanks for 30 days, then the wine ages 24/30 months in large barrels and rests 2 months in steel before being in bottle 6 months. Sensational Barolo for aromatic complexity, very intense floral and fruity tones are perceived, the palate is direct, crisp with soft tannins and a pronounced acid component that shows an interesting aging potential.

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.
