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.

The 2014 Barolo Monvigliero has really tightened up after its recent bottling. Today, what comes through is an unusually potent, virile expression of Monvigliero, rather than the more aromatic, perfumed style that is typical of both this site and wine. Readers should expect a brooding, classically austere Barolo that is going to need a number of years to unwind. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, November 2018)

Took some time to open up, but a great pairing with pasta, heavy on tanins, nose resembles wood, leaves, and taste fruit skins.
