Gianfranco Alessandria's Barolo red wine has been an undiscovered jewel for years. This is even more true for the 2019 vintage, which is beautifully straight and balanced.
The berries for the Gianfranco Alessandria Barolo 2019 DOCG come from various Nebbiolo slopes owned by the family in the municipality of Monforte D'Alba. The hand-picked and carefully selected grapes are lightly pressed and destemmed. Fermentation takes place in vertical fermentation tanks with controlled temperatures with a short mashing time. The wines then mature in French barriques and last 24 months. After a short period of bottle storage, the Barolo is then sold.
The diverse aromas are impressive with notes of sweet, red berries, spices and dry flowers. The hearty tannin, alongside the fine fruit sweetness, has a very pleasant and balanced effect. The finish has a good length with a lot of charm. A very successful Barolo with a lot of balance and finesse.

The family-run winery Gianfranco Alessandria is located in the heart of the Barolo municipality of Monforte D'Alba. Gianfranco is now the third generation to run this small winery with the great support of his wife Bruna and his daughters Marta and Vittoria. The vineyards are all located in a south-eastern orientation in the magnificent Gran Cru location of Monforte D'Alba. This geographical situation enables the production of particularly elegant, long-lasting Barolo wines with first-class structure and freshness. “The wine is made in the vineyard”. This philosophy, which is based on nature and the moon, is the Alessandria family's top principle for their daily work.
We recommend braised roast, lamb, game and mature hard cheese to accompany your meal.
