Fratelli Alessandria is an Italian winery located in Verduno, spreading just over 15 hectares at the northern end of the Barolo appellation, close to the River Tanaro, which focuses exclusively on native grape varieties, mostly red with the emblematic Nebbiolo, Dolcetto, Barbera, Freisa and the singular Pelaverga Piccolo, and only one white grape, Favorita. The soils consist of fossil S. Agata Marl and are of a calcareous-clayey nature, having emerged from the sea some 6-7 million years ago.
Fratelli Alessandria is one of the oldest wineries of Barolo as Giuseppe Dabbene started to build the Fratelli Dabbene winery in the late 1700’s and established the winery in 1830, at the time of the birth of Barolo. In 1893, Clementina Dabbene, the last member of the Dabbene family, married Carlo Alessandria and the name of the winery changed from “Fratelli Dabbene” to “Fratelli Alessandria”. The winery produced the first vintage of Barolo “Monvigliero” in 1976, the first vintage of Barolo “San Lorenzo di Verduno” in 1997 and the first vintage of Barolo “Gramolere” in 2001. Gian Battista, his wife Flavia, brother Alessandro and son Vittore are now in charge of the winery and represent the seventh and eighth generations of winemakers of the estate.
The wines of Verduno offer distinguishing features such as finesse, elegance, the smoothness of their tannins, and the light spiciness that characterises the aromatic profiles of all the wines, beginning with Verduno Pelaverga and ending with Barolo.
