Vittore Alessandria's 2013 Barolos are stellar. That said, the wines are quite closed relative to how they showed from cask last year, which is not entirely surprising given the style of the vintage. Time in bottle is going to be essential in allowing the 2013s to come together and express their full potential. These remain some of the finest, artisan, traditionally made Barolos readers will find. Best of all pricing has not yet caught up to the quality of what is in the bottle.’
Antonio Galloni, www.vinous.com
Fratelli Alessandria's 2013 Barolo is fabulous. Scents of orange peel, cardamom, dried flowers, mint and dried cherries give the 2013 a decidedly exotic flavour profile that will only gain in sweetness and perfume as the wine ages. Mid-weight structure gives the wine considerable appeal, but readers who can cellar the 2013 will be in for a treat. Alessandria's straight Barolo remains one of the most fairly priced wines in all of Piedmont. Don't miss it. Drink: 2019-2043
