on a lingering candied violet note

chiseled and built to age finish

painfully young Cristal that will require considerable patience

52 ha parcel in En La Chapelle

the Monvigliero moves into shades of more blue-toned fruit

Fratelli Alessandria, Barolo Gramolere Vintage:2021 on a lingering candied violetMedium red. Distinctly cooler on the nose than the San Lorenzo di Verduna, offering scents of cherry and musky underbrush. Then sweeter and more concentrated in the mouth, but still with a coolish, savory character to the red fruit and balsamic flavors. Finishes with serious tannins that turn a bit dry with air.
