Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Feb 21
The 2017 Barolo Monvigliero marries the raciness of the year with the floral lift and elegance of this great Verduno site. More than anything, the 2017 is a Barolo of pure and total sensuality. Even so, there is more than enough tannin to allow the 2017 to drink well for many years to come. It is very clearly one of the wines of the vintage. The rich, substantial finish is a thing of real beauty.

The Wine Independent Susan Hulme - 13 Jul 22
The 2017 Fratelli Alessandria Barolo Monvigliero has spicy, peppery, rose petal and delicate red fruit notes on a very pretty, fragrant nose. It has depth, concentration and flesh in the middle. It is still very assertive, with slightly drying chalky tannins, not fully integrated into the body of the wine. It lacks the harmony and finesse of the very great wines but is an attractive, characterful country cousin. Wait 2-3 years, keep 20-25.
