Fratelli Alessandria, Barolo, 2013 MSK Champagne 2021 DC Tasting Notes: Lush tropical fruitFratelli Alessandria's 2013 straight Barolo is a benchmark value in Piedmont. Composed primarily of 85% fruit from Verduno with the remainder from young Gramolere vines, this wine showcases the beauty of slightly shorter maceration in large casks over three years. The 2013 balances mid weight structure with aromatic complexity, offering juicy, supple fruit today while possessing the depth for years of graceful cellaring.
