Barolo, San Lorenzo di Verduno, 2019
Limpid bright translucent ruby in colour, the 2019 San Lorenzo di Verduno leaps out of the glass with notes of freshly cut peach, blood orange and red plums. Silty, softer soils with limestone underpinning, San Lorenzo is the lower continuation of Monvigliero, and has the same south facing exposition producing wines of presence and finesse, with an extra layer of lovely glossy fruit. Fermented in stainless steel and aged in 25hl Slavonian oak cask for three years.
critic reviews
The 2019 Barolo San Lorenzo di Verduno turned out beautifully. This explosive, old-school Barolo packs a serious punch. Gravel, black cherry, menthol, lavender and crushed rocks literally stain the palate. Full-bodied and deep, with tons of virile, brooding intensity, the San Lorenzo is a winner. Readers will have to be patient, though.
This vineyard delivers slightly more concentrated fruit and a medium-dark appearance from loamy calcareous soils. The 2019 Barolo San Lorenzo di Verduno delivers more oomph and power with ripe cherry, blackcurrant, dark spice and earthy aromas. Fratelli Alessandria makes some of the most harmonious wines in Verduno, and that quality comes through beautifully in this wine, despite the slightly more robust fruit weight delivered by San Lorenzo di Verduno. Only 5,000 bottles were made.
