This bottling serves as Fratelli Alessandria's commune-level benchmark, blending Nebbiolo fruit sourced across several outstanding organically farmed sites within Verduno, including Riva Rocca, Campasso, Boscatto, and Neirane. Verduno is celebrated across the Langhe for producing the most delicate, floral, and aromatic Barolos, owing to its chalky Marne di Sant'Agata Fossili soils and cool northern positioning.

In the warm 2022 vintage, the estate's traditional methods, long maceration followed by 30 months of aging in large Slavonian and French oak casks, ensured the wine retained its signature ethereal lift. It balances ripe red cherries, crushed raspberry, and sweet spices with fine-grained, silky tannins.

Critical Acclaim: 

92-94 Points, Jeb Dunnuck:

" ... pours a bright ruby hue and is highly perfumed with delicate rustic notes alongside Bing cherries, roses, spice, and stony earth. Medium-bodied, it has appealing sweet tannins, balanced acidity, and good clarity throughout. This charming and expressive Barolo should drink well over the coming decade."

93 Points, Wine Advocate: 

"The Fratelli Alessandria 2022 Barolo del Comune di Verduno captures the floral finesse and spice that have become signatures of this village. The bouquet offers violet, peppery exotic flower, redcurrant and dried boysenberry with subtle hints of lavender and rosemary essence. The wine is streamlined and linear in the mouth, delivering a tonic sense of freshness and graceful intensity rather than sheer power. First introduced with the 2017 vintage, the wine captures Verduno's distinctive personality with its floral lift and near-term approachability. Wines from 2022 tend to be leaner overall. Drawn from five vineyards across the village, total production comes to 16,000 bottles."
