Antonio Galloni, February 2020, Score: 94-97
The 2016 Barolo Monvigliero is a real powerhouse. Rich and structured on the palate, the 2016 is likely to require a number of years to be at its best. Beams of tannin and bright acids give the 2016 a feeling of energy and vibrancy that is palpable. Bright red cherry, blood orange, mint and white pepper give the 2016 a brilliant top register. I can't wait to taste it from bottle.

Jancis Robinson, February 2020, Score: 18
Verduno. Concentrated and complex perfume of cherry and sweet raspberry fruit and strikingly mineral. Luscious, succulent fruit with vibrant acidity. The fruit fills out the rich layer of sensationally tactile tannins. Rich in fruit, but perfectly reined in. (WS)

In the small medieval village of Verduno lies the historic Fratelli Alessandria cellar. The family has tended vines in the region since the beginning of the 19th century and today their 12 hectares stretch over some of the best crus in Verduno and also Monforte. This is a true family affair, Gian Battista Alessandria and his wife Flavia tend to the vines while his brother Alessandro and his son Vittore are in the winery. Together, they craft high-quality artisanal wines from the Nebbiolo grape variety but also from some Dolcetto, Barbera and the little-known Pelaverga variety. The Barolos from the village of Verduno are highly distinct and can be lighter, lacier and more elegant than those from other villages.Read less

Region
Barolo
With Brunello in Tuscany, Barolo is undoubtedly Italy's finest wine producing region. Located in Piedmont in the north west of Iataly Barolo is comprised of 5 major communes - Barolo, Monteforte d'Alba, La Morra, Castiglione Falletto and Serralunga d'Alba - though the latter three tend to represent the main styles of the region. The wines are compelling and polished - an exemplary expression of the Nebbiolo grape. DOCG law requires a minimum ageing of 2 years in cask or barrel yet can be longer depending on the producer. Barolos are generally released four or more years after the vintage.
