Crissante Alessandria Barolo 'Capalot' DOCG 2020
Vintage Character
Crissante Alessandria Barolo 'Capalot' DOCG 2020 comes from the Capalot MGA in La Morra, one of Barolo’s classic zones for fragrant, finely etched Nebbiolo. The 2020 vintage is widely regarded as strong in Barolo: a generally balanced growing season delivered ripe fruit without sacrificing freshness, giving wines both early charm and the structure to age. In La Morra, the area’s Tortonian soils, richer in marl and sand than the denser formations found elsewhere in the appellation, typically shape a more lifted, floral expression, and Capalot is especially prized for combining perfume with precision.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
On the nose, this wine shows rose petal, red cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry, followed by notes of sweet spice, anise and a subtle earthy nuance. The palate is full yet poised, with Barolo’s hallmark high acidity and firm tannins wrapped around pure red fruit, savory mineral detail and a long, tapering finish marked by dried herbs and tea-like grip. Its style suits dishes with depth but not excessive heaviness: try braised veal shank, porcini risotto, or roast duck with five-spice.
Winery Background
Crissante Alessandria is a small, family-run La Morra estate founded in 1958 in the hamlet of Roggeri, and it remains closely identified with the elegant side of Barolo. Under Alberto Alessandria, the winery has continued a philosophy of careful, site-sensitive farming, hand-harvesting and restrained cellar work designed to let each MGA speak clearly. Fermentations are traditionally geared toward transparency rather than extraction for its own sake, and the wines are matured with patience to preserve Nebbiolo’s aromatic lift and structural definition. That combination of modest scale, cru focus and classical balance makes this a compelling, benchmark-minded expression of La Morra Barolo.
