Relatively early picking

quite heady and showy (some might say vulgar but that would be too pejorative

it's nutty

There is a top note of kirsch to the earthier and spicier aromas of red and dark berry liqueur

This is a brilliant wine and a sleeper of the vintage to drink over the next 10-15 years

Fratelli Alessandria, Barolo other_regions_italy Relatively early pickingFratelli Alessandria's 2015 Barolo makes for a very fine introduction to the vintage at this address. Macerated dark cherry, leather, cedar, tobacco and spice give the 2015 lovely shades of nuance. Best of all, the 2015 will drink well right out of the gate. This is such a pretty and expressive md weight Barolo that really hits all the right notes for a wine in its peer group. Another year or two in bottle will only help the tannins soften. Antonio
