Fratelli Alessandria Barolo Gramolere 2018 : A Powerful and Structured Expression of Monforte d’Alba Elegance

Fratelli Alessandria Barolo Gramolere 2018 from Fratelli Alessandria is a deeply structured and character-driven expression of premium Nebbiolo, sourced from the renowned Gramolere cru in Monforte d’Alba, one of Barolo’s most powerful and age-worthy communes. The 2017 vintage reflects a warmer growing season that produced wines with generous fruit, firm structure, and pronounced aromatic depth, showcasing both intensity and finesse in classic Barolo style.

In the glass, it displays a deep ruby-garnet color. The nose is complex and layered, opening with aromas of dark cherry, blackcurrant, and ripe plum, followed by notes of dried rose, violet, licorice, crushed herbs, spice, and subtle earthy undertones. On the palate, it is full-bodied and tightly structured, with firm yet refined tannins that give the wine its signature Monforte power. The fruit core is rich and concentrated, evolving into savory layers of iron, spice, tobacco, and mineral tension. The finish is long, persistent, and slightly austere, reflecting its serious aging potential.

Critics have praised Fratelli Alessandria Barolo Gramolere for its depth, structure, and cellar potential. It is considered a powerful vintage that requires patience, with fine-grained tannins and evolving aromatic complexity that will continue to develop over time. While approachable with extended aeration, its true expression will reward cellaring over the coming years as the structure integrates and tertiary notes emerge.

Fratelli Alessandria Barolo Gramolere 2018 pairs beautifully with rich and flavorful dishes such as truffle risotto, braised beef short ribs, osso buco, roasted lamb shank, wild mushroom pasta, and aged hard cheeses like Parmigiano Reggiano and Pecorino.
