WINE DESCRIPTION
Fratelli Alessandria stands as a beacon of traditional winemaking in the Barolo region, and their Barolo Gramolere is a singular expression of this philosophy. Sourced from the Gramolere vineyard, known for its favorable exposition and calcareous clay soils, the Nebbiolo grapes are nurtured to produce wines of great aromatic complexity and structure. Adherence to time-honored techniques, including extended maceration and aging in large Slavonian oak casks, allows the wine to develop its full spectrum of sensory delights, marrying the power of Barolo with the elegance that Fratelli Alessandria's wines are celebrated for.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Fratelli Alessandria Barolo Gramolere unfolds in the glass with a deep garnet color, signaling its noble heritage.The bouquet is a symphony of aromas: ripe red fruits, roses, and anise, with evolving hints of truffle and tobacco as it breathes. The palate is met with a structured and full-bodied experience, where flavors of tart cherries, raspberry, and savory herbs blend seamlessly with the firm, yet ripe tannins. A wine of exquisite balance, it offers a long, nuanced finish with a thread of minerality and a lingering touch of oak spice. This is a Barolo that promises to reward those with the patience to let it mature, evolving gracefully in the cellar over the years to come.
