More questions
The Gramolere Barolo DOCG 2021 from Fratelli Alessandria displays a decisive yet measured character, typical of a well-expressed Nebbiolo. On the nose ripe red fruits, rose and violet petals emerge, accompanied by light earthy and forest-floor notes that add depth; a hint of fine spice integrates with restrained minerality.
On the palate the sip is solid, supported by a tannic structure that is well-defined but still young, balanced by a fresh acidity that keeps the wine taut and lifted to a persistent finish. A wine to enjoy after a short period of bottle rest or to open with a few hours of decanting to soften the tannins; it lends itself both to aging and to more immediate drinking occasions. Pairs with roasted and braised meats, structured ragùs and aged cheeses; serve around 16–18 °C to appreciate its balance and aromatic nuances. A frank, essential Barolo with good personality and character.
