Crissante Alessandria Barolo Capalot 2021

Crissante Alessandria Barolo Capalot 2021 is a classic expression of Nebbiolo from one of Piedmont’s most respected corners of Barolo. Sourced from the Capalot site, it combines fine structure, lifted aromatics, and the unmistakable depth that has made Barolo one of Italy’s most celebrated wines.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a bright garnet hue with youthful ruby reflections, hinting at both elegance and concentration. The nose is poised and complex, with notes of red cherry, wild strawberry, rose petal, and dried herbs, layered with subtle spice, earth, and a touch of tar as it opens. On the palate, this Barolo is precise and firmly structured, with taut tannins, lively acidity, and a long, mineral finish. The fruit is bright rather than heavy, supported by savory complexity and the kind of balance that suggests excellent development over time. While approachable with patience, it should reward cellaring beautifully for many years.

Production
Barolo Capalot comes from Piedmont, where Nebbiolo thrives in calcareous marl soils and cool conditions that preserve acidity and aromatic lift. The 2021 vintage is expected to reflect careful vineyard selection and traditional harvesting practices, with vinification likely focused on gentle extraction to maintain finesse, fragrance, and the site’s natural structure.

Food & Serving
This wine is a natural match for rich, flavor-forward dishes such as braised beef, roast lamb, truffle risotto, porcini mushrooms, and aged cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if opening young, to allow the aromatics to unfold and soften the tannins.

Crissante Alessandria is a family-run producer in Barolo known for crafting wines that emphasize purity, site expression, and traditional Piedmontese character. The estate has earned respect for its careful work with Nebbiolo and its commitment to producing wines with both finesse and aging potential, making it a notable name among quality-focused Barolo producers.
