Fratelli Alessandria
About Fratelli Alessandria
Fratelli Alessandria counts almost all their vines, with the exception of their Gramolere, within the gorgeous commune of Verduno. Something of an unknown quantity when compared to the more familiar and renowned communes of La Morra, Barolo, Serralunga and Castiglione Falletto, the village sits on the north-eastern border of the region. Almost an extension of neighbouring Roero, its soils are sandier and subject to a welcome moderating influence from the Tanaro river.
The result of this unique terroir is a lighter, more delicate and perfumed style of Barolo – of which Fratelli Alessandria are brilliant exponents. The estate is old in Barolo terms, having started in the mid-19th century - the fine 18th-century house and cellars on the edge of the tiny village remain the estate’s centre. Today, Vittore Alessandria runs the immaculate traditional cellar, while his brother Ale tends the 14 hectares of vineyards.
In the modern age, Fratelli Alessandria’s wines are seriously sought-after by Barolo lovers as they clamber for an allocation whilst the releases remain incredibly modestly priced.
