Parker om: Barolo del Comune di Verduno

Here's a new wine that reflects the enthusiasm for comune-focused wines that are now gaining much traction across the Barolo appellation. The Fratelli Alessandria 2017 Barolo del Comune di Verduno shows beautifully even in its youth and most especially after the bottle has been opened for a bit or double decanted. Like all these wines from this vintage, it needs a little extra breathing room. The results are precise and focused with a good balance of light spice, mineral and tar. Some 20,000 bottles were made. 94/100

Wine Enthusiast om: Barolo del Comune di Verduno

Wild red berry, camphor, truffle and dark spice aromas form the inviting nose. Elegantly structured, the savory palate also has youthful tension, delivering ripe Morello cherry, raspberry compote, star anise and tobacco blend set against taut, fine-grained tannins. Give it a few more years to fully develop 94/100

Wine&Spirits om: Barolo del Comune di Verduno

This Barolo captures the fresh floral scents, lively red fruit and peppery spice so characteristic of Verduno. A model of restraint and balance, this is showing beautifully now, and will continue to develop well over the next decade. 94/100

Suckling om: Barolo del Comune di Verduno

Nicely perfumed nose with dried wild strawberries and some chalky minerals. Medium to full body with sweet and tangy fruit flavor and a hint of vanilla growing through the palate. The tannins are firm, but under control and are starting to meld into the wine. Give it a year or two to integrate more fully. Drink from 2023 onwards. 93/100
