6 flasker Barolo Fratelli Alessandria. Opbevaret korrekt. Topårgang i Piemonte. Bedste årgang siden 1999. Robert Parker tildeler 94 point: The 2010 Barolo is sourced from four or five vineyards, all from the Verduno area. Because the Barolo San Lorenzo was not produced in 2010, that fruit ended up being blended here. Vittore felt that it lacked aromatic depth to be a single vineyard expression. This has proven an excellent choice. This wine was selected by the Enoteca Regionale del Barolo to be the symbolic Barolo chosen to represent the entire 2010 vintage. In full disclosure, yours truly was named the “face” of the vintage and the Enoteca organized a wonderful presentation in June 2014 in which this wine was poured and I was invited to share my tasting notes on the vintage. There’s an inherent elegance here that is impossible ignore. The wine is light and beautifully nuanced with a light, brilliant color. The bouquet is fine and focused with a beautiful sense of evolution and finesse
