Note di degustazione
Alessandria's 2008 Barolo is a serious wine. Firm tannins provide the backbone for an expressive core of dark fruit in this highly expressive and polished entry-level offering from Alessandria. The balance of fruit, acidity and structure is superb. Hints of licorice, smoke, incense and cloves meld into the generous, creamy finish. I love the intensity here.

Alessandria's 2008 Barolo is a serious wine. Firm tannins provide the backbone for an expressive core of dark fruit in this highly expressive and polished entry-level offering from Alessandria. The balance of fruit, acidity and structure is superb. Hints of licorice, smoke, incense and cloves meld into the generous, creamy finish. I love the intensity here. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2020. This is yet another solid set of wines from Fratelli Alessandria. Fine Barolo is never inexpensive, but these wines all deliver superb quality for the money. The single-vineyard Baroli are aged in a combination of French oak tonneaux and larger casks, an approach that works beautifully. Importer: Artisan Wine, Norwalk, CT; tel. (203) 866-4552
