Gianfranco Alessandria Barolo San Giovanni (1997)

Zusätzliche Information

Vinee Beschreibung und Bewertung

92/100 PP

'The impressively-endowed, dark plum-colored 1997 Barolo San Giovanni (a vineyard facing Bussia) is a blockbuster. It boasts terrific concentration as well as a sweet bouquet of chocolate, blackberries, cherries, tobacco, asphalt, and smoke. Structured and powerful, with muscle to spare, this massive wine needs 3-4 years of cellaring (despite its low acidity).'

'Gianfranco Alessandria is one of my favourite producers in the Monforte d'Alba Township. He runs this boutique estate with his wife Bruna and his young daughter Vittoria. They farm 5.5 hectares of vines (that they own) plus an additional 1.5 hectares that are rented. I remember meeting Vittoria as a teen as she worked expertly in the winery and did most of the heavy lifting. She is a great example of the newest generation of vintners to tame the beautiful Nebbiolo grape.'
