Description
Gramolere is a cru in the commune of Monforte d'Alba located between the Gavarini and the Bussia. Structure and character are considered synonymous with Barolo di Monforte. Alongside these characteristics, the wine from this particular hillside expresses delicate hints of aromatic herbs that blend with classic, complex notes of leather and liquorice.

Gian Battista, his wife Flavia, brother Alessandro and son Vittore are the proud custodians of the family’s winemaking tradition and passion, which date back over a century, and represent the seventh and eighth generations of winemakers (the first three generations as Fratelli Dabbene and then as Fratelli Alessandria following a marriage which took place in around 1870).
The winery vinifies only estate grown grapes and has maintained a family dimension. These qualities make it possible to establish a direct and "personal" relationship with the individual vineyards and barrels, an invisible but important connection that we hope will reach and inspire consumers when they drink our wines.
