Characterised by a ruby-garnet hue, it opens on the nose with aromas of cherry, raspberry and blood orange, followed by notes of clove, cinchona, potpourri and liquorice. On the palate, it is full and structured, supported by \u003cstrong\u003epolished tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e and a pronounced freshness and savouriness. The progression concludes with an elegant \u003cstrong\u003ebalsamic finish\u003c\/strong\u003e, ideal for accompanying game, pork, cheeses and lamb tagine with prunes and almonds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Piedmont, the wine originates from the hill of \u003cstrong\u003eSan Lorenzo di Verduno\u003c\/strong\u003e, near Monvigliero, on gentle slopes at an altitude between 240 and 260 metres. The vineyards, with \u003cstrong\u003esouthern exposure\u003c\/strong\u003e, are situated on \u003cstrong\u003ecalcareous silty soil\u003c\/strong\u003e which imparts a distinct savoury character to the glass. The approximately thirty-year-old vines, trained using the Guyot system, ensure an ideal productive balance, allowing the grapes to develop those floral nuances typical of this particular slope.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter manual harvesting, \u003cstrong\u003efermentation in steel\u003c\/strong\u003e lasts for 22-30 days at a controlled temperature, gradually extracting colour and tannins. Maturation takes place over three years in French and Slavonian \u003cstrong\u003eoak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, enriching the aromatic profile and complexity. The production cycle ends with a two-month period in steel and a crucial \u003cstrong\u003ebottle ageing\u003c\/strong\u003e of at least six months, a vital phase for definitively stabilising and harmonising the wine's structure.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSan Lorenzo is a hill in Verduno adjacent to that of Monvigliero, with the same type of soil but characterised by a gentler slope and a slightly lower altitude. The wine produced here is considered more refined and is often described as “feminine”, standing out for its ability to enhance the typical floral sensations of the Nebbiolo grape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Fratelli Alessandria","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47004853076139,"sku":"61628","price":72.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/fratelli-alessandria-barolo-san-lorenzo-di-verduno-2022_61628_1_377403d8-aac0-41ee-9d4e-9da0a8bad376.webp?v=1779812449","url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/en-dk\/products\/fratelli-alessandria-barolo-san-lorenzo-di-verduno-2022","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
