Gianfranco Alessandria "San Giovanni" Barolo 2011
"Gianfranco Alessandria's 2011 Barolo San Giovanni is a wine of enormous beauty, balance and intensity. It exhibits a dark consistency and lively highlights of garnet and ruby. The wine shows impressive liveliness and energy. It also delivers a seamless fusion of red cherry fruit and oak-driven spice that work against each other to create buoyancy and momentum. On the close, this beautiful wine shows dark fruit, licorice, grilled herb and pretty menthol accents."
