Fratelli Alessandria Barolo Monvigliero 2018
Monvigliero hill is historically recognised 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 metres, facing south. It produces an austere but elegant wine, distinguished by aromatic complexity and depth of flavour.

Colour

Bright ruby with garnet rim.

Bouquet

Intense nose of dark spices, small bramble fruits, Mediterranean scrub, rich floral notes on balsamic and mineral puffs.

Flavour

The taste is powerful and refined at the same time, with lively freshness and pleasant savouriness. Gentle and well-dissolved tannin, long balsamic trail.

Pairing

Truffled guinea fowl baked in foil. Rack of lamb in a hazelnut crust.

Meat
Game
Cheese
