Fratelli Alessandria's 2013 straight Barolo is a benchmark value in Piedmont. Composed primarily of 85% fruit from Verduno with the remainder from young Gramolere vines, this wine showcases the beauty of slightly shorter maceration in large casks over three years. The 2013 balances mid-weight structure with aromatic complexity, offering juicy, supple fruit today while possessing the depth for years of graceful cellaring.

"Fratelli Alessandria's 2013 Barolo is fabulous. Scents of orange peel, cardamom, dried flowers, mint and dried cherries give the 2013 a decidedly exotic flavor profile that will only gain in sweetness and perfume as the wine ages. Mid-weight structure gives the wine considerable appeal, but readers who can cellar the 2013 will be in for a treat. Alessandria's straight Barolo remains one of the most fairly priced wines in all of Piedmont. Don't miss it." —Antonio Galloni

"I just love the 2013 Barolo by Fratelli Alessandria. The wine is tame and subtle yet powerful at the same time. It starts off with classic aromas of wild berry, smoke, tar and licorice. Those tones build in momentum to show more intensity and volume as the minutes pass. This Barolo wraps thickly over the palate, imparting structure, firmness and density." —Monica Larner

"Aromas show new leather, iris, balsamic notes and aromatic herb. Elegant and structured, the smooth, taut palate offers sour cherry, cranberry, clove and a hint of licorice set against tightly knit, polished tannins. It’s still youthfully austere so give it a few more years to let it bloom into a beauty." —Kerin O'Keefe

Verduno's hidden gem. The Alessandria family has been making wine since 1830 (the name comes from a marriage, back when the place was called Fratelli Dabbene). Thirty acres of Nebbiolo, Dolcetto, Barbera—classic Piedmont stuff done with real family care. Gian Battista, Flavia, Alessandro, and son Vittore together.
