Description

Fratelli Alessandria Barolo 'San Lorenzo' is a single-cru Barolo from the southern-facing slopes of Verduno, one of the most refined villages in the Barolo appellation. Grown at 250 metres elevation, the Nebbiolo from this site delivers elegance, aromatic lift, and fine structure. The wine shows classic notes of red cherry, rose, liquorice, and forest floor, wrapped in a silky tannin frame. San Lorenzo is a site of finesse and balance, and this bottling reflects the unique character of its terroir with grace and ageing potential.

*Every effort is made to ensure the current vintage is accurate; however, variations can occur. If you are after a specific vintage, please contact us prior to ordering.
