The Monvigliero hill in Verduno is recognized as one of Barolo's grand cru sites, and Fratelli Alessandria holds some of its largest parcels at 1.4 hectares. The 2015 vintage showcases the vineyard's south-facing slope at 320 meters elevation, producing an austere yet elegant wine of remarkable aromatic complexity. After three years in large oak and careful aging, this Barolo balances power with refinement—a testament to both terroir and skillful winemaking.

Antonio Galloni

"The 2015 Barolo Monvigliero is the most complete of the Barolos in this range. Suave and polished (for a young Barolo), the 2015 offers a good bit of early appeal, as all these wines do. Sweet tobacco, dried cherry, mint, crushed flowers and orange zest add layers of nuance to this pretty, expressive Barolo from Fratelli Alessandria." —Antonio Galloni

Robert Parker

"Monvigliero in the Verduno township is quickly becoming one of the most celebrated and talked about crus in Barolo. The Fratelli Alessandria estate was among the first to understand its potential, and indeed, this wine was first released in 1978. Fast forward to today and you will find that the 2015 Barolo Monvigliero is an absolutely classic interpretation that stays faithful to past incarnations. The wine offers pretty berry aromas intermingled with spice, licorice and crushed stone. A floral aroma of red rose also appears. The tannins are solid and will require extra years of bottle aging." —Monica Larner

"From one of the most celebrated vineyards in the denomination, this opens with alluring aromas of rose, menthol, perfumed berry, pine forest and new leather. Structured and loaded with finesse, the compelling palate delivers juicy Marasca cherry, crushed raspberry, licorice and cinnamon along with crushed mint. Tightly knit, fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity provide age-worthy support and tension. Drink 2023–2040." —Kerin O'Keefe
