Barolo DOCG - San Lorenzo - Fratelli Alessandria 2018

A remarkably complex and sophisticated interpretation of Barolo. It is the authentic expression of a single cru, a prestigious label that reveals the unique characteristics of the terroir.

This Barolo originates from a vineyard that produces grapes of extraordinary aromatic intensity. The soils, mainly calcareous with a good presence of silt, contribute to its peculiarity. After the manual harvest, the spontaneous fermentation process with indigenous yeasts takes place in steel tanks at a temperature of 29-31 °C, with a total duration of maceration on the skins of approximately 20-25 days. The wine matures for 36 months in 20-30 hectoliter Slavonian oak barrels, followed by 2 months in steel and finishes the refinement process with six months in the bottle before marketing.

In the glass, it has a beautiful garnet red color. The olfactory bouquet, rich and elegant, offers aromas of violet, dried flowers, medicinal herbs, small berries, liquorice root and light toasted hints. The sip begins with a good structure, a dense but evolved tannic texture, and a notable complexity and aromatic depth. The finish, harmonious, persistent and fresh, completes the sensorial experience.
