Fratelli Alessandria San Lorenzo di Verduno, Barolo DOCG, Italy 2019 Chateau Cos d'Estournel firm textureThe 2019 Barolo San Lorenzo di Verduno, tasted from barrel, is another potent wine from Alessandria. Heady and explosive, the 2019 possesses tremendous energy and drive from start to finish. Dark red fruit, gravel, incense, scorched earth, rose petal, licorice and iron are some of the many notes that race out of the glass. The 2019 is wild and racy, sort of like a misbehaved child, but in the best sense! I can`t wait to see how it turns out. 93 95 Pts
