Fratelli Alessandria - Barolo San Lorenzo Di Verduno 2019 (750ml)
Wine Advocate: 96 Points
This vineyard delivers slightly more concentrated fruit and a medium-dark appearance from loamy calcareous soils. The 2019 Barolo San Lorenzo di Verduno delivers more oomph and power with ripe cherry blackcurrant dark spice and earthy aromas. Fratelli Alessandria makes some of the most harmonious wines in Verduno and that quality comes through beautifully in this wine despite the slightly more robust fruit weight delivered by San Lorenzo di Verduno. Only 5000 bottles were made.
Vinous: 93-95 Points
The 2019 Barolo San Lorenzo di Verduno tasted from barrel is another potent wine from Alessandria. Heady and explosive the 2019 possesses tremendous energy and drive from start to finish. Dark red fruit gravel incense scorched earth rose petal licorice and iron are some of the many notes that race out of the glass. The 2019 is wild and racy sort of like a misbehaved child but in the best sense! I can't wait to see how it turns out.

Camphor wild rose ripe berry and new leather are just some of the aromas that you?ll find on Fratelli Alessandria?s fragrant 2019 San Lorenzo di Verduno. Full-bodied and buffed to a smooth sheen the juicy chewy palate doles out fleshy black cherry crushed mint and licorice framed in tightly knit velvety tannins. You?ll also detect the subtle warmth of alcohol on the finish but the fruit richness easily supports it. Drink 2026?2034. Abv: 15% Kerin O?Keefe March 2023 ©kerinokeefe
