The Barolo DOCG signed by Gianfranco Alessandria, originating from the renowned San Giovanni vineyard, represents an excellent example of how tradition and quality can converge in a wine of extraordinary refinement. This Barolo is produced in the heart of Langhe, a wine region notoriously recognized for producing high-end wines thanks to its particularly favorable terroir and ideal climate.
The wine results from meticulous work that begins in the vineyards, leading to a scrupulous selection of Nebbiolo grapes, an indigenous variety that here finds one of its highest expressions. Fermentation occurs under controlled conditions followed by a long aging process in oak barrels, contributing to the rich and complex organoleptic profile of this Barolo.
In appearance, it showcases a deep garnet red color with reflections that tend to turn orange with aging. On the nose, notes of ripe red fruits, spices, and a slight hint of tobacco and leather emerge, typical of well-evolved Barolos. On the palate, the wine demonstrates a robust and structured body, with well-integrated tannins and a persistence that leads to a long and pleasantly harmonious finish.
Ideal for accompanying red meat dishes, game, and aged cheeses, Gianfranco Alessandria's Barolo is a wine that promises to evolve magnificently over time, making it an excellent candidate for cellaring. This label reveals itself as an essential purchase for wine lovers who wish to explore the depth and elegance that only a well-crafted Barolo can offer.
