Fratelli Alessandria Barolo San Lorenzo di Verduno 2022

Fratelli Alessandria’s Barolo San Lorenzo di Verduno is a classically styled Nebbiolo from one of Barolo’s most expressive village sites, offering both power and finesse. Crafted in Verduno and shaped by careful aging in large oak casks, it reflects the historic depth and elegance that have made Barolo one of Italy’s great wines.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a ruby-garnet hue, bright yet serious in tone. The nose opens with ripe cherry and raspberry, then unfolds into blood orange, clove, cinchona, potpourri, and a subtle liquorice note. The palate is soft and full-bodied, with vibrant acidity that gives the wine lift and structure. Savory spices and layered fruit lead into a fruity, balsamic finish. Built on Nebbiolo’s natural tension and aging capacity, it should continue to develop beautifully over time.

Production
This wine comes from San Lorenzo di Verduno in Piedmont, where Nebbiolo benefits from a terroir suited to producing perfumed, structured Barolo. Fermentation and maceration take place in stainless steel at controlled temperatures of 28–30°C for 22–30 days, preserving aromatic precision and tannic finesse. The wine then ages for about three years in Slavonian and French oak casks of 20–40 hectolitres, followed by two months in stainless steel and at least six months in bottle before release.

Food & Serving
A natural match for lamb tagine with plums and almonds, game, aged cheeses, and pork dishes. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for at least an hour to allow the aromatics to open and the tannins to soften.

Producer
Fratelli Alessandria is a respected family producer in Piedmont, long associated with traditional Barolo made with precision and restraint. The estate is known for its work in Verduno and for wines that combine authenticity, site expression, and aging potential.
