Alessandria, Barolo 2016

Alessandria

Case Format: 6x75cl

This is a lighter, more delicate and perfumed version of Barolo with a lot of red fruits on the nose, taste, leather, earthy and oak. Fratelli Alessandria is a historic Piedmontese wine estate, located in the Langhe regio of northwest Italy, has been the property of the Alessandria family since 1870. It focuses on the cultivation of the Nebbiolo grape variety under the Barolo DOCG, but also produces a range of wines from other local grape varieties including Dolcetto, Barbera, Favorita and the rare red grape Pelaverga. Its soils are sandier, and there’s a moderating influence from the Tanaro river, running below the village.

Walter Speller

Lustrous mid ruby. Fine but really subdued. Very pure cherry fruit and racy acidity. Fine, tannic bite on the finish. Captivating. (WS)

James Suckling

Aromas and flavors of dried strawberry, black truffle, bark and hints of rust and earth. Full-bodied, chewy and intense. Flavorful finish. I like the richness and structure. Try after 2024.
