Alessandria's friendly San Lorenzo Barolo, the estate's classic village bottling, from a great structured 2010 now well into maturity. This is the accessible heart of one of Piedmont's under-the-radar lineups, drawing on fruit from Verduno with the same satin elegance and lightness of touch that defines the cru wines. 2010 was a benchmark classic vintage, and after well over a decade the tannins have softened and the savory side has emerged. A traditional, transparent introduction to mature Alessandria Barolo at a fair price. Decant and enjoy.

"Alessandria's 2010 Barolo is a pretty entry-level offering. Dark cherries, smoke, game, licorice and earthiness open up in a firm, mid-weight Barolo to drink now and over the next decade. Hints of orange peel and spices are layered into the finish. In 2010, Alessandria did not bottle their Barolo San Lorenzo; instead, all of that fruit was blended into the straight Barolo." —Antonio Galloni

"The 2010 Barolo is sourced from four or five vineyards, all from the Verduno area. Because the Barolo San Lorenzo was not produced in 2010, that fruit ended up being blended here. Vittore felt that it lacked aromatic depth to be a single vineyard expression. This has proven an excellent choice. This wine was selected by the Enoteca Regionale del Barolo to be the symbolic Barolo chosen to represent the entire 2010 vintage. In full disclosure, yours truly was named the “face” of the vintage and the Enoteca organized a wonderful presentation in June 2014 in which this wine was poured and I was invited to share my tasting notes on the vintage. There’s an inherent elegance here that is impossible ignore. The wine is light and beautifully nuanced with a light, brilliant color. The bouquet is fine and focused with a beautiful sense of evolution and finesse. Drink: 2016-2028." —Monica Larner

"This elegant Barolo opens with a spicy fragrance of white pepper, clove and nutmeg along with notes of violet and forest floor. The palate offers crushed red cherry and raspberry accented with allspice and cinnamon alongside silky tannins. This is already accessible but will also age well over the next decade. Drink 2015-2025." —Kerin O'Keefe
