Barolo Monvigliero Fratelli Alessandria 2016 displays pronounced notes of dark cherry and raspberry alongside subtle hints of earth. The wine presents a structured profile with firm tannins and a refreshing acidity. The complex layering includes touches of spice and wild herbs, complemented by a mineral-like edge. This particular Barolo is crafted from grapes grown in the Monvigliero cru, known for its unique sandy and clay-rich soils, which enhance the wine`s character. Fratelli Alessandria has been producing wine since 1860, adhering to traditional methods that respect the terroir. Aged for 36 months in large oak casks, this wine showcases an impressive balance of depth and structure.

The Fratelli Alessandria 2016 Barolo Monvigliero is a true beauty. This wine offers an all-encompassing, wide-angle view of this unique vineyard in Verduno. Wines from Monvigliero tend to show a slightly wild or unpredictable side that makes them very exciting. That untamed nature comes through with wild flowers and peppery spice, and the mouthfeel always has a unique silkiness that feels glossy or polished in texture. This is a very special growing site, and Fratelli Alessandria has long been a protagonist of the Verduno subzone. There are only 7,000 of these beauties up for grabs. - Monica Larner

The 2016 Barolo Monvigliero is a total knock-out. A burst of sweet red berry fruit, mint, pine and red berry fruit give the Monvigliero its effusive aromatic presence. A Barolo of tremendous pedigree, the Alessandria’s Monvigliero is sure to put a smile on the face of Piedmont lovers. Although it is very young, the 2016 is off the charts gorgeous. It is everything first rate Barolo can and should be. The 2016 is to die for. Don’t miss it.

Verduno. Concentrated and complex perfume of cherry and sweet raspberry fruit and strikingly mineral. Luscious, succulent fruit with vibrant acidity. The fruit fills out the rich layer of sensationally tactile tannins. Rich in fruit, but perfectly reined in. (WS)
