Note di degustazione
The 2018 Barolo San Lorenzo di Verduno is a wild, beguiling beauty. Wild cherry, sage, lavender, blood orange, scorched earth and menthol give the 2018 an exotic quality that is so appealing. Dark and tannic, the San Lorenzo shows the more virile side of Verduno off to great effect. This is impressive.

The Fratelli Alessandria 2018 Barolo San Lorenzo di Verduno opens to a delicate and ethereal personality with fluttering aromas of blue flower, cassis, candied grapefruit and white pepper. The bouquet is fragrant and lifted, giving way to a subtle but very elegant mouthfeel. The wine's texture is fine and incredibly polished.
The 2018 Barolo San Lorenzo di Verduno is an especially somber wine. Black cherry, gravel, spice, leather and scorched earth show the darker side of Nebbiolo at play. There's good depth here, along with plenty of tannin. Give this a few years to soften.
Verduno. 28 days on the skins. A shade darker than their Del Comune di Verduno and with a firmer nose of cherry and raspberry with plenty of depth. Ripe and deep. Hints of mint and cardamom, but not from new oak as this has seen only large casks. Elegant and sappy cherry fruit palate with firm, finely chiselled tannins which never dominate the fruit. Succulent and with a fine, long, tannic grip on the finish. (WS)
