Elevate your Barolo experience with the Fratelli Alessandria Verduno Barolo 2019, presented in a magnificent 1.5L magnum format. This exceptional wine is a testament to Verduno's rich winemaking heritage and the Alessandria family's dedication to crafting exceptional wines. Made since 1880 and now named Barolo del comune di Verduno, this Barolo is sourced from four hectares of Verduno crus, including Pisapola, Campasso, Riva Rocca, Boscatto, and Rocche dell'Olmo.
The grapes are harvested in early October, fermented in stainless steel with 12-15 day macerations, and aged for three years in Slavonian oak botti. This meticulous process results in a Barolo that is both elegant and complex, with fragrant aromas of dog rose, perfumed forest berry, cedar, and eucalyptus. On the palate, the wine reveals juicy red cherry, spiced cranberry, and star anise, accompanied by fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity.
Praised by critics, this wine has garnered impressive ratings, including 95 points from both Kerin O'Keefe and Monica Larner (Wine Advocate), further solidifying its status as a standout Barolo. The magnum format makes it perfect for sharing and cellaring, allowing this remarkable wine to evolve and develop further complexity over time.
With its savory character, refined structure, and impressive critical acclaim, the Fratelli Alessandria Verduno Barolo 2019 (1.5L Magnum) is a must-have for any serious wine collector or enthusiast.
