Community Tasting Note

HowardNZ Likes this wine:

Saturday, January 5, 2019 - Verduno Venerdi: Fratelli Alessandria with Vittore: In the Normale, the grapes come from vines with an average age of 25 years. Twenty five days maceration here with three years in cask and two years in bottle. A lovely bouquet of rose perfumes, incense, raspberries and red cherries, spices and a little cranberry juice. On palate, surprisingly approachable. Elegant. Well proportioned and refined. Quite delicate. Mineral. A little Pinot-like. However, it did, with time, fill out in the glass, which I’d expect more of if it is given cellar time. Typically, the longevity of the Normale is expected at the winery to be 7-14 years. Vittore said, for him personally, with this Barolo that he “likes some fruit with my wines, and I like to drink this Barolo on release”. A very good entry level Barolo.
