"A transformative wine with a balance so perfect, it would score 10s in the Olympics." - 96 Points, Wine Enthusiast
96 Points, Jeb Dunnuck "The 2020 Barolo Monvigliero appears paler in the glass compared to the others tasted in this vertical of Monvigliero, but it opens to become spicy, bright, and complete, with notes of strawberries, spice, fresh flowers, cinnamon, and dusty earth. A great wine with the most distinct sense of place, it offers a tightrope of fine tannins, a snappy spine of acidity, and a long finish, with a fresh, balanced, and age-worthy feel as well as savory, mouthwatering tension and mineral undercurrents. Drink it over the next 20 years."
17.5 Points, Jancis Robinson"Palish youthful ruby. Subtle, aromatic nose hinting at balsamic raspberry, cardamom and stony, minerally notes. Supple and generous palate that is not fully open yet. Very long, juicy and still embryonic and with fantastic fine, gravelly tannins on the finish. Complete, but will need time to develop in the bottle."

ABOUT THIS BRAND
Fratelli Alessandria
The Alessandria family since the mid-19th century has called this gentle landscape home. In 1870, when the family first established their farm, calling it Fratelli Alessandria, Verduno was the center of Barolo winemaking—it was here where families first crafted dry Nebbiolo wines in the style we know today, and also bottled wines individually instead of shipping in cask. Because of this, the village was internationally recognized as the face of Barolo and sought out by collectors across the European continent. What Verduno gives is exactly what we crave in our Barolo wines: complexity without heaviness, structure with finesse. The Alessandria family provides a “mirror to the landscape,” Vittore says, respecting the history of their forefathers yet “looking ahead” to ensure that what’s in each bottle reflects the true essence of Barolo from Verduno.
