The Barolo DOCG "Fratelli" 2020 from Alessandria is a true oenological masterpiece that originates in the heart of the historic region of Piedmont, specifically in the municipality of Verduno, renowned for its fine wines and exceptional terroir. This bottle embodies the essence of the Nebbiolo variety, a treasure of the Langhe, which matures with passion among gentle hills and century-old vines. The 2020 vintage stands out for its favorable climate, which has produced perfectly ripe grapes that are rich in character and complexity.
In appearance, the wine exhibits an intense, bright garnet color, a sign of great structure. The nose reveals an enveloping bouquet that emanates elegant notes of roses, ripe cherries, and spices, accompanied by a slight hint of leather and a delicate aroma of tobacco, indicative of a skillful aging in oak barrels. On the palate, it presents itself as powerful yet well-balanced, with firm yet silky tannins framing a fruity and mineral freshness. The finish is long and persistent, harmonious, evoking the sweet lands from which it comes.
This Barolo reflects local tradition with a touch of modernity, making it ideal for pairing with red meat dishes, such as braised meats or ossobuco, but it is also perfect with aged cheeses or a porcini mushroom risotto. A wine for collectors, to be enjoyed now or to be kept for the future, as it will have much to say in the years to come. With the Barolo "Fratelli" 2020, Alessandria celebrates the vibrancy of the Piedmontese terroir and artisanal mastery, offering an unforgettable sensory journey into the heart of the Langhe with every sip.
