tannic and likely to require quite a bit of patience

Fratelli Alessandria, Barolo Gramolere other_regions_italy The first vintage of thisMedium red. Distinctly cooler on the nose than the San Lorenzo di Verduna, offering scents of cherry and musky underbrush. Then sweeter and more concentrated in the mouth, but still with a coolish, savory character to the red fruit and balsamic flavors. Finishes with serious tannins that turn a bit dry with air.
