    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    A blend of five vineyards all in the commune of Verduno, this is about as classic and true to type as it gets. Expressive, fluid, salty, brittle and floral, with particularly pronounced notes of raspberry and strawberry, and a touch of balsamic on the finish. Not heavy just gloriously open and perfumed with a freshness running through it. After 30 days on skins it was aged for three years in large casks.

    Monica Larner,

    The Fratelli Alessandria 2018 Barolo del Comune di Verduno shows extreme clarity and focus with pinpoint aromas of cassis, sour cherry, crushed stone and perfumed violets. This is a standout wine that shines bright in a vintage that is not always even when you consider its peers. The wine invigorates the palate with acidity, minerality and fine tannins. This is a terrific, albeit slightly more approachable Barolo.
