Fratelli Alessandria, Barolo Gramolere, 2021
Fratelli Alessandria has roots in Verduno since 1830, but this wine comes from their holdings in Monforte d'Alba's Gramolere cru—a steep, high-altitude site (350-450m) with stony, calcareous soils. While their Verduno wines emphasize aromatics and elegance, Gramolere delivers the structure and concentration typical of Monforte. The family takes a traditional approach: organic farming, native yeast fermentations, three years in large Slavonian and French oak (90% old casks), unfined and unfiltered. This is a serious Barolo built for aging, though it remains approachable thanks to the family's light touch.
