The Barolo DOCG "Gramolere" by Fratelli Alessandria represents an exceptional interpretation of Nebbiolo coming from the renowned Gramolere vineyard, located in the prestigious area of ​​Monforte d'Alba, in the Piedmontese Langhe. The Fratelli Alessandria winery, guided by a long family tradition and a deep passion for the territory, stands out for the production of high quality wines that embody the authenticity and elegance of Piedmont.

This Barolo has an intense garnet red color, with orange reflections that intensify with aging. On the nose, it offers a complex and enveloping bouquet, with notes of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and plums, enriched by hints of dried flowers, spices, tobacco and a light nuance of undergrowth, which add aromatic depth and richness.

In the mouth, Barolo "Gramolere" reveals a powerful and well-balanced structure, with soft and velvety tannins that give the wine a pleasant roundness and a long tasting persistence. The lively acidity and minerality further underline the complexity of the wine, leading to a long and enveloping finish, characterized by persistent aromatic returns.

This extraordinary Barolo is the ideal companion for rich and structured dishes of Piedmontese and international cuisine, such as red meats, game, truffle-based dishes and mature cheeses. Thanks to its structure and complexity, it is also a wine that lends itself to meditation and tasting in moments of relaxation and contemplation.
