Fratelli Alessandria

The headquarters of the Cantina Fratelli Alessandria resides in the large eighteenth-century house with sober and majestic lines, close to the historic center of Verduno. We are in the DOCG BAROLO territory and for over a century this company has obtained important recognition, starting from the agricultural competition announced way back in 1843 by King Carlo Alberto. The current owner of the company is Gian Battista Alessandria, with his wife Flavia, his brother Alessandro and his son Vittore who are the proud architects of the family's centuries-old winemaking tradition and passion. The company extends over 12 hectares of vineyards, all owned, and which constitute the true heritage of the company as they are located in some of the best crus of Verduno and Monforte as regards Nebbiolo from Barolo. The Fratelli Alessandria winery is clearly a family-run business and produces exclusively proprietary grapes: these requirements allow it to have a direct and "personal" relationship with the individual vineyards and individual barrels, an invisible but important thread that manages to achieve and "excite" the consumer through the 12 beautifully crafted labels. Gian Battista follows the agronomic part and declares: “It is in the vineyard that a great wine is born”. This has always been his firm belief. In the cellar it is necessary to safeguard and best express the quality and potential already obtained in the vineyard and brother Alessandro and son Vittore take care of this. There are 3 flagship labels, 3 Barolo crus; in addition to the classic production of Barbera and Dolcetto, traditional wines, a very interesting native vine in danger of extinction is Pelaverga. And finally, a very limited production of Barolo Chinato, a special herb-flavoured wine, after a meal, an ancient herbal recipe dating back to the end of the 19th century.
