Barolo Fratelli Alessandria 2014 presents a complex bouquet of dark cherry, dried roses, and earthy undertones, showcasing the characteristics typical of Nebbiolo. The palate reveals a firm structure, with pronounced tannins and notable acidity. Flavors of black fruit, licorice, and hints of tar define its profile, offering a reflection of the traditional vinification techniques employed by the Alessandria family, who have been making wine since the late 19th century. This Barolo undergoes an aging process in large Slavonian oak barrels, allowing for the fruit and oak to integrate harmoniously over time. With a long finish and a slightly austere personality, this wine is crafted to age further, benefiting from cellaring for several years. The Fratelli Alessandria winery, located in the heart of Barolo, emphasises a hands-on, artisanal approach, respecting the terroir and the unique qualities of each vintage.
