Tasting Notes

Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Feb 21
Rich, bold and effusive, the 2017 Barolo San Lorenzo di Verduno shows the darker side of Nebbiolo from Verduno, as it always does. Black cherry, gravel, licorice, game, spice and cured meats are some of the many aromas and flavors that develop in the glass. Broad and ample, with tons of punch, the 2017 San Lorenzo delivers the goods, and then some.

The Wine Independent Susan Hulme - 13 Jul 22
The 2017 Fratelli Alessandria Barolo San Lorenzo di Verduno has a bright color and lively peppery red fruits on the nose. The mid-palate is round and spicy with delicate strawberry flavors. It is juicy, very tangy and savory at the same time. The perception of tannins is grainier, drier and more savory. Verduno, close to the Tanaro river with its cooler winds, seems to bring out a spicy pepperiness. This vibrant, spicy, pepperiness makes these wines so characterful.
