Fratelli Alessandria Barolo San Lorenzo di Verduno is an exquisite Italian red wine produced in the renowned Barolo region. The wine is made from Nebbiolo grapes and aged for 36 months in Slavonian oak barrels. This provides it with a rich, full-bodied profile with pronounced tannins. It offers an elegant bouquet filled with deep, complex notes of raspberry, cherry, rose petals and earthy truffle undertones. On the palate, this Barolo evokes an intertwining harmony of sweet fruit and floral notes, with a lingering finish. This wine is the perfect pairing with hearty Italian dishes and grilled meats.

Tasting Notes

A classic Verduno style Barolo. A vineyard near Monvigliero but a little lower and with more sand and less clay in it. Pretty and delicate aromas. Ample, soft round fruit. Full and sensual berry and plum fruit with some fresh-cut flower high notes. Very attractive.
