The 2020 Gianfranco Alessandria Barolo DOCG offers a captivating sensory experience that exemplifies the quality of this renowned Italian wine. On the nose, it presents rich and warm aromas of ripe red fruits, abundant in spice, with a pronounced licorice presence that melds harmoniously with inviting oak notes. The palate is a fruit-forward delight, bursting with ripe cherries and raspberries in their most decadent jam and candied forms. Complementary oak spice notes enhance the fruit, creating a complex and well-balanced flavor profile.

This Barolo showcases a harmonious blend of ripe fruit characteristics, spice elements, and well-integrated oak influences. The combination of rich red fruits, licorice, and warm spices results in an inviting and intricate flavor profile typical of high-quality Barolo wines. The fruit-forward nature of this vintage suggests a wine that is approachable and enjoyable even in its youth while still maintaining the depth and complexity expected from a Barolo DOCG.
