Tasting Notes

Robert Parker Wine Advocate Monica Larner - 24 Aug 23
This vineyard delivers slightly more concentrated fruit and a medium-dark appearance from loamy calcareous soils. The 2019 Barolo San Lorenzo di Verduno delivers more oomph and power with ripe cherry, blackcurrant, dark spice and earthy aromas. Fratelli Alessandria makes some of the most harmonious wines in Verduno, and that quality comes through beautifully in this wine, despite the slightly more robust fruit weight delivered by San Lorenzo di Verduno. Only 5,000 bottles were made.

Vinous Antonio Galloni - 04 Jan 24
The 2019 Barolo San Lorenzo di Verduno turned out beautifully. This explosive, old-school Barolo packs a serious punch. Gravel, black cherry, menthol, lavender and crushed rocks literally stain the palate. Full-bodied and deep, with tons of virile, brooding intensity, the San Lorenzo is a winner. Readers will have to be patient, though.
Drinking Date: 2029 - 2044

Verduno. Lustrous mid ruby. More depth on the nose than the straight Verduno from the same vintage and with layered complexity. Ripe and yet fresh, with plenty of succulent cherry on the palate and lots of attractive, chewy tannins. Great depth of fruit on the finish. (WS)

Barolo Vineyard Fine Wine

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.
