| 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 Rocche dellOlmo (east-facing, at 930-1,080 feet) and Semolino (west-facing, at 960-1,050 feet) in Verduno, and Gramolere (southeast-facing, 1,200-1,350 feet) in Monforte dAlba. In 1870, when the family first established their farm, calling it Fratelli Alessandria, Verduno was the center of Barolo winemakingit 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 brothers Alessandria who are guiding the wines of Verduno back to the heights they once held. It is of course a family affairthe brothers Gian Battista and Alessandro, and Alessandros son, Vittore, are the stewards of this generations-old estate." - North Berkeley Imports |
