Note di degustazione
With fruit from Monforte d'Alba, the Fratelli Alessandria 2020 Barolo Gramolere is slight and lean in terms of mouthfeel and has aromas of blackcurrant, crushed stone and grilled herb. This vintage is certainly shorter than previous years, although there is lots of nice freshness. The Gramolere is poised for a short to medium-term drinking window.

From vines planted in sandier soils in Monforte D'Alba at an elevation of 400 meters, the 2020 Barolo Gramolere is a bright ruby color and offers deeper aromatics in its generous notes of candied raspberries, ripe, sweet fresh herbs, candied flowers, and sappy, mossy earth. On the palate, it’s tight and tension-packed, with a bright, citrus-driven, pithy texture, hints of mint and balsamic, and a clean, tea leaf-noted finish. Drink 2026-2040.
The 2020 Barolo Gramolere is laced with hints of dried cherry, menthol, spice, dried herbs and a whole range of balsamic inflections that add character. Like all the 2020s here, the Gramolere shows good vineyard character, but in a decidedly slender, light style relative to most years.
Monforte d’Alba. One hectare of Gramolere came from Alessandria’s mother, née Manzone, and with vines aged up to 50 years. Until 2000 it had been managed by her brother Giovanni Manzone; 2000 was the same year in which they acquired an additional hectare of Gramolere. First vintage 2001. Just mid ruby. Stylistically very different from Verduno. Similar balsamic character and a tiny bit richer on the nose with a distinct minerally core. Compact fruit that is still closed and with a layer of sandy tannins that follow the fruit seamlessly. Elegant, fresh and long, it will reveal itself fully in the next couple of years. (WS)
