[SOLD-OUT] Alessandria Monvigliero Barolo 2010

eRobertParker 96 points!
"The 2010 Barolo Monvigliero shows a pretty degree of color salutation with brilliant garnet and ruby highlights. The bouquet is broad and wide-sweeping with a healthy succession of red berry, sweet almond, stone fruit, medicinal herb and crushed mineral. Fruit thrives from 220 to 280 meters above sea level with full southern exposures facing La Morra. They own 1.5 hectares of the 20-hectare single vineyard. An important cru, Monvigliero is fifth most identified vineyard designate in Barolo after Cannubi, Bussia, Brunate and Rocche dell'Annunziata. Fratelli Alessandria keeps its Barolo in oak casks for three years, instead of two. The wine shows light spice notes with distant touches of dark fruit. The tannins are silky and long. The wine is amazing expressive now, but promises great aging potential"

"The thriving, Southern-facing Monvigliero cru is the site of some of Barolo's most famous, highly-sought-after wines. This Holy Grail site produces a Barolo that tends towards a more delicate, perfumed and mineral expression of Nebbiolo than Alessandria's Gramolere above. This outstanding Barolo will rest a long, healthy sleep in your cellar, if you can wait it out."
