Fratelli Alessandria Barolo Monvigliero 2012

Forward aromatics and accessible fruit mark this approachable vintage of Monvigliero. The wine shows good density with classic tar, rose and cherry notes, yet lacks the vineyard's typical architectural complexity. Solid tannins provide structure, but the finish feels somewhat compressed. Alessandria's proven track record suggests this may develop more layers with time. Drink 2020-2032.
