Barolo San Lorenzo di Verduno

Italy
Piedmont
2020

From the small Verduno cru of San Lorenzo (South exposure, 240-260m), where Fratelli Alessandria owns 0.8ha.   Average vine age of 30 years.  Harvest on October 8th.  Macerations 31 days.   First produced in 1997.  5,000 bottles made.

"The 2021 Barolo San Lorenzo di Verduno is a wine of translucence, elegance and finesse.  Bright acids cut through a core of red/purplish fruit, chalk, slate, crushed rocks and white pepper.  Rose petals, blood orange peel and mint resonate on the high-toned, intensely saline finish.  San Lorenzo is often a potent Barolo, but in 2021, in comes across as especially finessed." -Antonio Galloni, Vinous, January 2025
