The Barolo DOCG 2019 by Alessandria Gianfranco is a wine that embodies the essence of Piedmontese winemaking tradition, showcasing the complexity and power of the Nebbiolo grapes grown in the renowned Barolo vineyards. This vintage, characterized by favorable weather conditions, has produced sweet and aromatically intense clusters, giving the wine a deep structure and timeless elegance. In appearance, it presents a deep garnet red that captivates as it catches the light.
On the nose, the bouquet is a sensory journey that opens with notes of wilted roses and violet petals, followed by earthier hints of truffle and leather. Red fruits such as sour cherries and plums intertwine in an aromatic embrace, while sweet spices and subtle wood notes make their way into a lingering finish. On the palate, the tannins take center stage, with velvety tannins dancing on the tongue, supported by fresh and vibrant acidity. This Barolo is definitely complex, yet its harmony makes it accessible and intriguing, inviting pairing with rich and flavorful dishes such as Barolo braised beef or aged mountain cheese. A wine that deserves to be appreciated even in special moments, carrying with it the soul of the land from which it originates.
