Gianfranco Alessandria Barolo 2018
The Winery
Gianfranco Alessandria
Summary
The Gianfranco Alessandria Barolo 2018, hailing from Monforte d’Alba, showcases the elegance of Nebbiolo. This wine is crafted from select parcels on calcareous marl and undergoes gentle extraction before aging for approximately 24 months in mainly used French oak. The 2018 vintage, influenced by a wet growing season, resulted in a meticulous selection process. The wine presents an inviting profile with notes of sweet dried cherry, mint, and spice, complemented by hints of worn leather and dried herbs. While not intended for extensive aging, its balance and approachability make it a delightful choice for current enjoyment.
