the Monvigliero moves into shades of more blue-toned fruit

Youthful and loaded with minerality and tannin

this is another wine that will require long-term ageing

A wine of pure and total pleasure

yet the Pajana remains a bit of a brute

Fratelli Alessandria, Barolo Gramolere Vintage:2021 the Monvigliero moves into shadesMedium red. Distinctly cooler on the nose than the San Lorenzo di Verduna, offering scents of cherry and musky underbrush. Then sweeter and more concentrated in the mouth, but still with a coolish, savory character to the red fruit and balsamic flavors. Finishes with serious tannins that turn a bit dry with air.
