Monvigliero hill is historically recognized as the “grand cru” of Verduno and one of the most representative of the entire Barolo area. Our vineyard is over 35 years old and is situated at an altitude of about 320 meters, facing south.
It produces an austere but elegant wine, distinguished by aromatic complexity and depth of flavor.
100% Nebbiolo from vines of at least 50 years of age. Aged for around 3 years in 20 – 40 hectoliters Slavonian and French oak casks, 2 months in stainless steel tanks and at least 6 months in horizontally laid bottles.
Only a handful of producers have access to this very exciting MGA in Verduno. The Fratelli Alessandria 2020 Barolo Monvigliero shows added complexity with a note of cola or balsam herb that lifts above wild berry and cassis. There are floral notes in this warm vintage, but they lean into pressed violet and dry rose instead of fresh flowers. This expression has extra concentration and even a hint of stemmy bitter fruit that should iron out with time. Anticipated Maturity: 2026-2045
