Fratelli Alessandria, Barolo, 2016 ALSACEJURASWISSCT0126 revitalized by the Pages familyA benchmark Barolo from a historic Verduno producer, Fratelli Alessandria's 2016 shows the graceful elegance and nervous energy that define the finest expressions of Nebbiolo. From a complex blend of parcels in the commune, it opens with tight red fruit, cassis, and bitter cherry, unfolding toward mint and white pepper.
