Tasting Notes

Robert Parker Wine Advocate Monica Larner - 17 Jun 21
With some 7,000 bottles released, the Fratelli Alessandria 2017 Barolo Gramolere gives us a taste of fruit from Monforte d'Alba, as opposed to Verduno, where this winery is based. The Nebbiolo from this further-flung village shows deep power and equal grace, and you feel the contrast in this warm-vintage wine. This Barolo sits firmly on the palate with dark shades of cherry, blackcurrant and wild plum. These fruit tones cede to iron ore, rusty nail and dark licorice. This wine shows power and almost sanguine or earthy intensity. The wine will hit the market in September 2021.
Drinking Date: 2024 - 2040

Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Feb 21
The 2017 Barolo Gramolere is a powerful, tightly wound wine full of Monforte tension. Readers will have to be patient. Dark-fleshed fruit, spice, menthol, licorice and sage add layers of aromatic intrigue to this firm, hulky Barolo. The 2017 takes all the Gramolere signatures and turns up the volume.
Drinking Date: 2025 - 2042

The Wine Independent Susan Hulme - 13 Jul 22
The 2017 Fratelli Alessandria Barolo Gramolere has a lively nose - it is spicy, vibrant and nuanced. Lively too on the palate, it is very forceful with, fine-textured, chalky tannins. Energetic and characterful. It needs more time, wait 3 years, drink for 20.
Drinking Date: 2025 - 2042

Monforte d'Alba. Cask sample. Lustrous mid ruby. A little stonier or more evidently minerally than San Lorenzo di Verduno of the same vintage. Savoury and at the same time perfumed, ripe cherry fruit. Compact succulent cherry fruit, interwoven with long, powdery tannins. Very fresh. Impressive effort for the vintage. (WS)
Drinking Date: 2022 - 2034

Barolo

Barolo, the "King of Wines," is a prestigious red from Piedmont, Italy, made exclusively from Nebbiolo grapes. Known for deep complexity, Barolo offers rich flavours of dark cherries, roses, truffles, and spices, with high acidity and firm tannins. It ages exceptionally well, evolving in depth and nuance. Barolo's diverse terroirs create a range of styles, from powerful to delicate. Top producers include Gaja, Bruno Giacosa, Giuseppe Rinaldi, and Marchesi di Barolo, all of whom exemplify Barolo's tradition and quality.
