Alessandria, Barolo 2016

Description

This is a lighter, more delicate and perfumed version of Barolo with a lot of red fruits on the nose, taste, leather, earthy and oak. Fratelli Alessandria is a historic Piedmontese wine estate, located in the Langhe regio of northwest Italy, has been the property of the Alessandria family since 1870. It focuses on the cultivation of the Nebbiolo grape variety under the Barolo DOCG, but also produces a range of wines from other local grape varieties including Dolcetto, Barbera, Favorita and the rare red grape Pelaverga. Its soils are sandier, and there’s a moderating influence from the Tanaro river, running below the village.
