2021 Fratelli Alessandria, Barolo, Comune di Verduno

Vittore Alessandria’s "Comune di Verduno" bottling is a traditional assemblage of five estate parcels—including Pisapola and Campasso—farmed according to organic principles and aged for three years in large Slavonian and French oak casks to prioritize varietal transparency. This village-level expression is rooted in Verduno’s distinct *Marne di Sant’Agata fossili* soils, where a high proportion of silty limestone provides the geological basis for the wine's trademark aromatics and textural finesse. The 2021 vintage, defined by a long growing season and significant diurnal temperature swings, has imparted exceptional structural clarity and high acid retention to the Nebbiolo. The resulting wine is marked by a return to classic, low-pH profiles, yielding a dense mid-palate supported by finely-woven, linear tannins and a persistent mineral backbone. It is a precise expression of Verduno’s lift, grounded by the structural seriousness and architectural integrity inherent to this classic, late-harvest vintage.
