This was really good after many years in bottle. I really enjoyed this wine and the 2010s when they were released. I like the pure, feminine style of the Fratelli Allesandria. Almost Burgundian, kind of like a Chambolle Musigny. I believe the estate is situated at a higher elevation than most producers or it’s further north. I can’t remember. A Barolo that is easy to drink without any harsh flavor and not overly tannic. Impressive entry level wine that shows better than the majority of the crus I tasted. 9/5/20

Sep 6th, 20202010 vintage. Gift from Raymond and Allison. Drank with Bobby. Still tight and needed a ton of decanting, but it opened up with work. Delicious, but I'd keep it cellared for a few years.
