Fratelli Alessandria Description
Since the mid-19th century, the Alessandria family has called Verduno, at the northern edge of the Barolo zone, home. Then, Verduno was the center of Barolo winemaking—and was internationally recognized as the face of Barolo. Today Verduno is experiencing a renaissance, and it is the “brothers” Alessandria who are guiding the wines of Verduno back to the heights they once held. What Verduno gives is exactly what we crave in our Barolo wines: complexity without heaviness, structure with finesse. “Fratelli Alessandria is one of Piedmont’s under-the-radar jewels,” says Italian wine expert Antonio Galloni.
The red Pelaverga grape is native to Verduno; there are less than a dozen local producers who craft pure Pelaverga wines. Often served lightly chilled.
Tasting Note: Aromas of wild strawberries, raspberries, rosemary flowers, light pepper. Suave and juicy, with light tannins.
Wine Pairing: As an aperitif; with grilled white meats; salumi NOTES: The red Pelaverga grape is native to Verduno; there are less than a dozen local producers who craft pure Pelaverga wines. Often served lightly chilled.
Vinous: 88 Points
The 2024 Pelaverga Speziale is a light-bodied, aromatic wine to drink now and over the next handful of years. Floral and savory overtones grace this soft, fruity Pelaverga. Sweet dried red fruits and small red berries linger nicely.
