    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Fratelli Alessandria, Barolo, del comune di Verduno, 2020

    Cherry Bakewell, lavender and pot pourri, the 2020 exhibits good clean acidity and neat tannins. Some candied fruits with peach skin and citrus notes. It has a pared-back crisp feel built around freshness. A blend of five vineyards all in Verduno: Pisapola, Campasso, Boscatto, Rocche dell’Olmo and Riva Rocca. The first four plots are cofermented whilst the bigger Riva Rocca plot is blended in later. Fermented in stainless steel and aged in 25hl Slavonian oak cask for three years.

    ABV:
    15%
    91-93/100
    Antonio Galloni, Vinous
    The 2020 Barolo San Lorenzo di Verduno is a pretty wine for this site, albeit it a bit quieter than most years. Black cherry, new leather, licorice, lavender, dried herbs and gravel are nicely woven together. In 2020, the San Lorenzo shows its typical savory, mineral profile but possesses less richness and tannic heft than is typical of most vintages.
