Only a handful of producers have access to this very exciting MGA in Verduno. The Fratelli Alessandria 2020 Barolo Monvigliero shows added complexity with a note of cola or balsam herb that lifts above wild berry and cassis. There are floral notes in this warm vintage, but they lean into pressed violet and dry rose instead of fresh flowers. This expression has extra concentration and even a hint of stemmy bitter fruit that should iron out with time. 2026 - 2045
