The Crissante Alessandria winery, located in the heart of the Langhe wine region in Piedmont, is known for its dedication to quality and its ability to produce wines that embody the richness and complexity of the Nebbiolo grape, interpreted through the particular microclimate and soil of La Morra.
La Morra, one of the main production areas of Barolo, is renowned for its limestone and clay soils which give the wines a delicate tannic structure and intensely floral and fruity aromas.

Visually, the wine has a garnet red color typical of Barolo, tending towards orange with aging. On the nose, Barolo La Morra offers a complex and inviting aromatic bouquet, with notes of ripe red fruits, dried flowers, spices and a light balsamic hint.

In the mouth, the wine reveals great elegance and harmony, with finely intertwined tannins and lively acidity which guarantees freshness and drinkability. The flavors reflect the olfactory notes, evolving into a long and persistent finish that leaves a pleasant sensation of balance and depth.
Perfect in combination with rich and tasty dishes, such as red meats, truffle-based dishes, game and mature cheeses, Barolo La Morra DOCG - Crissante Alessandria is also an excellent wine for special occasions, capable of evolving beautifully over time and offer a rich and multifaceted tasting experience.
