Fratelli Alessandria
Prinsiot Langhe Nebbiolo
The nose shows; poached strawberries, cooked cherries, some blackberries, just a hint of bubble gum, some sandy, wet, black earth, red & pink roses.
The palate is ripe and juicy & light bodied. Black cherries, strawberries raspberries, pomegranate, some blackberries & black raspberries, hints of blood orange, loamy sandy, limestone, dark spice with a touch heat, hints of licorice & cola, very fine, dry, soft tannins, red and pink roses, red flowers, beautiful acidity and a pleasant, elegant, easy finish that lasts a full minute.

Nice! Decant and enjoy. Lighter color, red fruits and smooth finish. A great food wine. SS

Nov 25th, 2020Sour cherries, on the richer side, with almonds and violets. Balanced acidity and tannins... perfectly quaffable now. Zero flaws... hard to imagine a better Langhe Nebbiolo. A surprising 14.5% ABV... perhaps the acid and fruit hide it well. Delicious. SommSelect.

Dec 16th, 2015Dizzying aroma of lavender, mint, fresh rose petals and earthy clay. Immediately on the palate a rush of fresh, vibrant raspberry. The mid palate opens to herbal softness stricken with a laser-sharp acidity that balances beautifully. A lingering and pleasant tannic structure leaves you begging for another sip.
