Tasting notes
The 2005 Barolo is an absolutely beautiful wine that flows onto the palate with delicate layers of red fruit, spices, flowers, minerals and spices, all of which come together in a very attractive, classic style. Today the tannins are a touch on the firm side, but the wine's balance and length are simply impeccable.

The 2005 Barolo is an absolutely beautiful wine that flows onto the palate with delicate layers of red fruit, spices, flowers, minerals and spices, all of which come together in a very attractive, classic style. Today the tannins are a touch on the firm side, but the wine’s balance and length are simply impeccable. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2020. This is another set of compelling wines from Fratelli Alessandria. In fact, I can’t think of another producer making Barolos at this level that still sell for such reasonable prices.
