"I can’t think of another producer making Barolos at this level that still sell for such reasonable prices." - Antonio Galloni

The Alessandria family has a rich history in the Barolo region dating back to 1870 when they first purchased the estate located around the hilltop town of Verduno. The property is still family owned and operated to this day. Owner Gian Battista, together with his wife Flavia, his brother Alessandro and his son Vittore proudly carry on their ancestors' tradition and passion for wine making. Their wines made from all estate grown grapes, “A great wine comes from a great vineyard”: this has always been Gian Battista's firm belief. What I find most compelling about Alessandria's wines (beyond the incredible prices) is their purity and balance. Their wines are impeccably balanced, the fruit is always full of pep and life without being masked by an over use of new oak.

Fratelli Alessandria Barolo Gramolere 2016

97 pts Wine Advocate / 96 pts Vinous

“If you consider the Barolo playbook at Fratelli Alessandria, the 2016 Barolo Gramolere takes the intensity and power up one more notch. You get black fruit and blackberry, but there is enough vibrant red fruit to keep this wine aligned with the more elegant and traditional side of Barolo. The wine shows compelling infinities with both the powerful and the elegant side of Nebbiolo. There are noticeable mineral notes and even a spot of savory salinity. However, Gramolere definitely has the power and inner grit to withstand long cellar aging. Only 7,000 bottles were made.” WA

“The 2016 Barolo Gramolere is another striking wine in this range from Vittore Alessandria. It offers a fabulous combination of structure and depth that makes it easy to appreciate in the early going, in relative terms. Bright red berry fruit, chalk, white pepper, dried herbs and deep spicy notes are all laced together. Somewhat surprisingly, the Gramolere is the most approachable of the 2016s today, although I would not plan on opening a bottle for at least a few years.” Vinous

Fratelli Alessandria Barolo 2016

 – “This is the classic Barolo from Fratelli Alessandria, made with a blend of fruit from various sites in Verduno. (From the 2017 vintage forward, the new name "del Comune di Verduno" will reflect its origins.) The 2016 Barolo opens to tight elegance and a nervous quality that pits red fruit energy over lean fruit weight. The results are graceful, lithe, fragile and lasting. The wine's aromas unfolded slowly and seductively, revealing wild berry, cassis, bitter cherry, toasted almond and blue flower. This is a dreamy wine that promises more beauty as it continues its bottle evolution. An ample 20,000 bottles were produced. This is one of the very best values found anywhere in Barolo. This is by far the finest set of wines I have tasted from Fratelli Alessandria, and I cannot recommend this estate enough for value-wine seekers and collectors alike. There is something for every Nebbiolo-loving palate in this portfolio, and all these wines hit the ball straight out of the park. Congratulations.” WA

“Alessandria’s 2016 Barolo is a fabulous choice for readers looking for a wine that won’t break the bank. Freshly cut roses, blood orange, red berry fruit, white pepper, chalk and bright acids all pulse through the 2016. A Barolo of energy and cut, the 2016 needs at least a few years in bottle to soften, but it is so impressive today.” Vinous

Fratellia Alessandria Langhe Nebbiolo "Prinsiot" 2018

This is a handy and versatile wine to drink on an open patio or porch under the stars. The Fratelli Alessandria 2018 Langhe Nebbiolo Prinsiòt is silky, smooth and very delicate. It's almost fragile I'd say. Wild berry and sour cherry aromas intermingle with lilac, violet and rose hip. The entire choreography here is graceful and detail-oriented. With only 9,000 bottles released, at this reasonable price, I'd recommend buying this beautiful wine by the case, not by the bottle.” WA
