Fratelli Alessandria Barolo San Lorenzo di Verduno 2021 750ml

The 2021 Barolo San Lorenzo Di Verduno is a medium red in color and has pretty aromatics that gain more depth with aromas of preserved raspberries, delicate notes of fresh leather, pressed flowers, and chalky earth. The palate is both approachable and refined, but the wine has structure to age and feels like it’s going to have a very wide window for enjoyment over the coming decades. A beautiful expression of this wine, the tannins are refined and the wine more seamless, accented with refreshing acidity and a long finish, and it’s very pure all the way through.

Varietal

Nebbiolo

The Nebbiolo grape varietal is widely understood to be the fruit responsible for Italy’s finest aged wines. However, its popularity and reliability as a grape which gives out outstanding flavors and aromas has led it to be planted in many countries around the world, with much success. These purple grapes are distinguishable by the fact that they take on a milky dust as they begin to reach maturity, leading many to claim that this is the reason for their unusual name, which means ‘fog’ in Italian. Nebbiolo grapes produce wines which have a wide range of beautiful and fascinating flavors, the most common of which are rich, dark and complex, such as violet, truffle, tobacco and prunes. They are generally aged for many years to balance out their characteristics, as their natural tannin levels tend to be very high.
