"The 2016 Barolo Monvigliero is a total knock-out. A burst of sweet red berry fruit, mint, pine and red berry fruit give the Monvigliero its effusive aromatic presence. A Barolo of tremendous pedigree, the Alessandria’s Monvigliero is sure to put a smile on the face of Piedmont lovers. Although it is very young, the 2016 is off the charts gorgeous. It is everything first rate Barolo can and should be. The 2016 is to die for. Don’t miss it." -Antonio Galloni

"The Fratelli Alessandria 2016 Barolo Monvigliero is a true beauty. This wine offers an all-encompassing, wide-angle view of this unique vineyard in Verduno. Wines from Monvigliero tend to show a slightly wild or unpredictable side that makes them very exciting. That untamed nature comes through with wild flowers and peppery spice, and the mouthfeel always has a unique silkiness that feels glossy or polished in texture. This is a very special growing site, and Fratelli Alessandria has long been a protagonist of the Verduno subzone." -Monica Larner

"Verduno. Concentrated and complex perfume of cherry and sweet raspberry fruit and strikingly mineral. Luscious, succulent fruit with vibrant acidity. The fruit fills out the rich layer of sensationally tactile tannins. Rich in fruit, but perfectly reined in."

"Ripe forest berry, camphor and fragrant purple flower aromas come together on this full-bodied red along with a whiffs of new leather and underbrush. Concentrated and enveloping, the palate also boasts an almost weightless finesse, delivering juicy Morello cherry, cranberry compote and licorice while velvety tannins lend seamless support." -Kerin O'Keefe
