Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

"The 2021 Barolo Monvigliero is one of the best wines I have tasted from Fratelli Alessandria in some time. The aromatics alone are haunting in their beauty. Rose petal, tangerine peel, cinnamon, kirsch, pomegranate and mint explode from the glass. Beams of supporting tannin give the wine its vertical build. This is such a promising Barolo. It could very well turn out to be one of the wines of the vintage." -Antonio Galloni

Robert Parker

RP 96
"Fratelli Alessandria started bottling Monvigliero back in 1978. The 2021 Barolo Monvigliero (with 7,000 bottles released) is a wine of extreme elegance and grace. It shows wild berry, redcurrant, lilac and light spice. Fruit comes from a 1.4-hectare plot with south and southwest exposures on silty limestone soils. There is a pretty note of floral sweetness over polished tannins that makes for a lasting impression." -Monica Larner

Decanter

"Among the most historic estates in Barolo, Fratelli Alessandria is a reference for the village of Verduno. With exactly 1.38ha in Monvigliero, the family has been producing this iconic bottling since 1978. The 2021 boasts a sumptuous and exotic nose of sarsaparilla, sandalwood and rosewater before making way for spicy red berries. Vibrantly lit, it gives an impression of weightlessness while simultaneously demonstrating substantial concentration of pepper-inflected raspberry. Fine-grained tannins are intricately woven into the entire canvas, and it finishes with a mineral tang."

"Like following a winding trail through the forest, this Monvigliero unfolds with purpose and precision. Fresh-crushed cherries and strawberry preserves lead the way, while wild violets and roses scatter their petals across a well-worn hiking path dotted with alpine herbs. The structure speaks of generations of knowledge, firm tannins and bright acidity working in harmony like trail markers guiding you home. Here's proof that when passion meets tradition, something truly timeless emerges from the cellar."

Kerin O'Keefe

"Showing class and an earthy finesse, the 2021 Monvigliero opens with alluring aromas of eucalyptus, succulent black-skinned fruit, truffle and tobacco. Reflecting the nose, the delicious, enveloping palate delivers layers of ripe black cherry, crushed raspberry, tobacco and licorice before closing on a hint of game. Drink 2029–2041." -Kerin O'Keefe
