TASTING NOTES
The 2020 Gianfranco Alessandria Barolo offers a captivating sensory experience that exemplifies the quality of this renowned Italian wine. On the nose, it presents rich and warm aromas of ripe red fruits, abundant in spice, with a pronounced licorice presence that melds harmoniously with inviting oak notes. The palate is a fruit-forward delight, bursting with ripe cherries and raspberries in their most decadent jam and candied forms. Complementary oak spice notes enhance the fruit, creating a complex and well-balanced flavor profile. -Importer's Notes
93pts - Vinous
"The 2020 Barolo is a gorgeous, classy wine. Crushed rose petal, red berry fruit, spice, mint and orange peel are all beautifully lifted in this gracious, mid-weight Barolo. Bright Monforte acids lend notable energy and freshness. This elegant, delicate Barolo is superb. The 2020 spent two years in wood, mostly barrique and about 10% in cask. What a joy."
88pts - Wine Enthusiast
"Rich and warmed aromas of ripe red fruits abundant in spice, featuring a pronounced licorice presence that melds with the warm, inviting notes of oak. On the palate, the wine is firm, with chewy tannins, contributing to its structured and robust character that keeps the rounded and plush fruit at bay as more savory elements develop as the wine evolves."
