The 2021 San Lorenzo di Verduno from Fratelli Alessandria is a stunner, starting with its intense fragrance of violet, rose, perfumed berry, forest floor and new leather. The palate is full-bodied and utterly delicious, delivering ripe black cherry, black raspberry, licorice and white truffle before a savory finish. Tightly knit, fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity keep it balanced while a hint of almond liqueur lingers on the finish. (KO)

Fruit for the Fratelli Alessandria 2021 Barolo del Comune di Verduno comes from five vineyard sites in Verduno: Riva Rocca, Rocche dell'Olmo, Campasso, Pisapola and Boscato. This was the first Barolo del Comune di Verduno to hit the market (with the 2017 vintage). The bouquet focuses on redcurrant and tart cherry, and there is a pinch of cinnamon buried in there as well. This is a pretty Barolo that manages elegance and an easy-drinking style. This 20,000-bottle release ages in Slavonian and French oak botti for three years. (ML)

Bottled only a month before I tasted it and coming from five vineyards in Verduno, the 2021 Barolo Del Comune Di Verduno is very pretty on the nose, with a good deal of complexity and purity lifting from the glass with aromas of fresh raspberries, strawberry, fresh spices, fennel, incense, and roses. The palate is focused and energetic, with bright acidity, finely coiled tannins, a salty, mouthwatering feel, and a light, savory finish. It is both tension-packed and has the finesse of Verduno throughout this Comune bottling. Drink over the next 15 years. (AF) 93+

The 2021 Barolo del Comune di Verduno is a blend of five vineyards across the village. Aromatic and polished yet also wonderfully deep, the 2021 is shaping up to be a real beauty. There's gorgeous density here, not to mention tons of personality. (AG)

Notes

From one of Verduno’s most historic and respected families, the 2021 Fratelli Alessandria Barolo del Comune di Verduno is a stunningly pure and aromatic expression of Nebbiolo. From the classic and structured 2021 vintage, this wine perfectly captures the elegant, perfumed character of its village. The nose is vibrant and lifted, with notes of sour cherry, wild strawberry, and rose petal, accented by hints of white pepper and crushed stone. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied and graceful, with fine, silky tannins and a bright, energetic acidity that provides a taut, linear frame. The finish is long, savory, and intensely mineral. A beautiful, terroir-driven Barolo with both early appeal and significant aging potential.
