Fratelli Alessandria "PRIORA" Barbera D'ALBA Superiore
| Vintage: | 2020 |
|---|---|
| Description: | "Red and black cherries, plums, mocha, baking spices; a broader, more intense and more complex Barbera, with refined tannins and a long, smooth finish. A selection of older-vine fruit from estate holdings in âRocche dell'Olmo' (east-facing, at 930-1,080 feet) and âSemolino' (west-facing, at 960-1,050 feet) in Verduno, and âGramolere' (southeast-facing, 1,200-1,350 feet) in Monforte d'Alba. In 1870, when the family first established their farm, calling it Fratelli Alessandria, Verduno was the center of Barolo winemakingâ"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. Today Verduno is experiencing a renaissance, and it is the âbrothersâ Alessandria who are guiding the wines of Verduno back to the heights they once held. It is of course a family affairâ"the brothers Gian Battista and Alessandro, and Alessandro's son, Vittore, are the stewards of this generations-old estate." - North Berkeley Imports |
