Crissante Alessandria Barolo 'Monvigliero' DOCG 2020
Vintage Character
Crissante Alessandria Barolo 'Monvigliero' DOCG 2020 comes from one of Verduno's most prized MGAs, a site celebrated for giving Nebbiolo exceptional perfume and finesse within the Barolo appellation. The 2020 vintage in Barolo is widely regarded as strong, with a generally warm growing season tempered by enough freshness to deliver ripe fruit, supple tannins, and a balance that makes the wines both expressive and classically structured. Monvigliero is especially distinctive for its elegant, lifted style, shaped by Verduno's cooler nuances and soils that favor fragrance, precision, and a silky interpretation of Barolo.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
In the glass, this wine opens with rose petal, wild strawberry, red cherry, and a telltale peppery lift, followed by subtle spice, tea leaf, and savory earthy tones. The palate is full yet finely etched, with high acidity and firm but polished tannins carrying flavors of crushed raspberry, orange peel, dried herbs, and sweet spice into a long, floral finish. Its combination of aromatic delicacy and inner structure makes it especially compelling at the table with veal chop with sage butter, duck breast with cherry reduction, or truffle risotto.
Winery Background
Crissante Alessandria is a family estate founded in 1958 and rooted in traditional Barolo growing, with the third generation continuing to refine a style centered on clarity of site and balance. The estate is known for careful vineyard work, hand-harvesting, and small-scale production from prized parcels in La Morra and Verduno, including this tiny Monvigliero holding. In the cellar, the approach favors precision over excess, typically combining temperature-controlled fermentation with measured élevage that respects Nebbiolo's perfume and structure rather than masking it, helping explain why the winery is prized by Barolo lovers seeking cru transparency and artisan scale.
