Fratelli Alessandria Monvigliero Barolo Nebbiolo 2014

'Fratelli Alessandria is one of Barolo's under the radar gems. Over the last few years the wines have been especially brilliant. The emphasis is very much on the vineyards, while in the cellar the approach is decidedly rooted in tradition. The estate works mostly with vineyards in Verduno, where the winery is located, but also owns a parcel in Gramolere, a high-altitude site in Monforte, that entered the family's holdings through marriage.' Antonio Galloni - Vinous Monvigliero hill is known as the most prestigious single vineyard in Verduno town and is definitely one of the most symbolic of Barolo country. The vineyard has over 30 years of age, at an altitude of about 320 meters and faces south. The wine from Monvigliero is austere and complex.
