2020 Crissante Alessandria "Capalot" Barolo
95
Vinous
Review Date: 11/2023Alessandria's 2020 Barolo Capalot is a wonderfully elegant, poised wine. It offers up hints of macerated cherry, spice, orange peel, cinnamon, dried flowers and earth. Deep and layered, yet also nicely finessed, the 2020 is super-impressive in this tasting. It's the finest wine I have tasted to date from Alessandria and a wonderful harbinger for the future. But, then I tasted the Monvigliero. To be released in 2025. (AG)

Notes
From the historic Alessandria family, the 2020 “Capalot” Barolo is a powerful and deeply expressive wine from this well-regarded cru in La Morra. Benefiting from the warmth of the 2020 vintage, this Barolo showcases a wonderful combination of rich fruit and classic structure. The nose is deep and complex, with aromas of black cherry, plum, and violet, interwoven with notes of licorice, sweet tobacco, and a hint of new leather. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and well-structured, with a core of dense, dark fruit framed by firm, yet polished tannins and vibrant acidity. The finish is long and persistent, echoing with notes of spice and earth. A stunning, age-worthy Barolo with impressive depth.
