The 2018 Barolo San Lorenzo di Verduno is a wild, beguiling beauty. Wild cherry, sage, lavender, blood orange, scorched earth and menthol give the 2018 an exotic quality that is so appealing. Dark and tannic, the San Lorenzo shows the more virile side of Verduno off to great effect. This is impressive. 2025-2038
The Fratelli Alessandria 2018 Barolo San Lorenzo di Verduno opens to a delicate and ethereal personality with fluttering aromas of blue flower, cassis, candied grapefruit and white pepper. The bouquet is fragrant and lifted, giving way to a subtle but very elegant mouthfeel. The wine's texture is fine and incredibly polished. 2024-2040
New leather, pressed rose and camphor aromas mingle together in the glass together with hints of truffle. Full-bodied and youthfully austere, the firm palate shows sour cherry, white pepper, coffee bean (check oak) and dried botanical herb set against a backbone of fine-grained tannins.
