Fratelli Alessandria Barolo 2013

Barolo, Italy

WineSaint
Dried cherry and mint lead the way, followed by exotic cardamom and orange peel that lift this above the vintage's typical austerity. Mid-weight and approachable now, yet built with enough structure for the cellar. Alessandria delivers exceptional value in what remains one of Piedmont's most reliable bottlings. Drink 2020-2030.
