Critics reviews

Monica Larner 95/100
The 2013 Barolo Monvigliero opens to a glowing garnet color with bright ruby highlights (that will slowly fade and diminish as the wine continues its evolution). The bouquet is fresh and tonic with wild blueberry, lavender, violet and orange zest. You get many of those ethereal and elegant nuances so often associated with the versatile Nebbiolo grape. Keep this beautiful wine for the next 20 years or so.Monica Larner - 31/08/2018

About this wine

Nebbiolo

Nebbiolo is the grape behind the Barolo and Barbaresco wines and is hardly ever seen outside the confines of Piedmont. It takes its name from "nebbia" which is Italian for fog, a frequent phenomenon in the region.

Fratelli Alessandria

A moment’s reflection is required before understanding the wines of Fratelli Alessandria: all the estate’s vines (except their cru Gramolere) are in the commune of Verduno. Not usually bracketed with familiar and renowned communes, the village sits on the north-eastern border of the region. It’s almost more of an extension of neighbouring Roero, with sandier soils and a moderating influence from the Tanaro river. All this adds up to a lighter, more delicate and perfumed style of Barolo – of which Fratelli Alessandria are brilliant exponents.
