NEBBIOLO D'ALBA 'PRINSIOT' FRATELLI ALESSANDRIA 2021 DESCRIPTION

 

Fratelli Alessandria's Nebbiolo d'Alba "Prinsiot" was born in a historical reality that began producing wine as early as the early 1800s: the Dabbene brothers began the construction of the winery and thus the marketing of the first wines. Almost a century later, the last member of the family, Clementina Dabbene, married Carlo Alessandria, referred to as the "Prinsiòt," which indirectly Piedmontese means "little prince," to whom this wine is dedicated. Thus was born the Fratelli Alessandria winery, which, generation after generation, has handed down the art of winemaking and the desire to enhance an area with a natural vocation for the production of qualitatively superlative wines.

Fratelli Alessandria's Nebbiolo d'Alba "Prinsiot" vineyards are located in the hamlets of Neirane, Pisapola and Sotto gardens, all with a south/south-east explosion, excellent for constant sunshine throughout the year. The age of the plants is about 10 years, and the soil in which the roots sink has a limestone composition with some silty sediment, a perfect combination for elegant and structured wines. The climate is characterized by cold winters often affected by snowfall and hot summers, but never with excessively high and sultry temperatures. Harvesting usually begins in early October and is done manually; in the cellar, alcoholic fermentation takes place in steel for about 7 to 9 days. Finally, it matures in French oak barrels for 6/8 months and stays in the bottle for 3 months.

To the eye, Fratelli Alessandria's Nebbiolo d'Alba "Prinsiot" is an intense ruby red with bright highlights. The aromas are reminiscent of dried and wilted flowers, juicy and syrupy black cherries and notes of bitter coffee and nutmeg; in the mouth, it is full-bodied, intense and enveloping with a good overall balance that recalls goblet after goblet. It pairs perfectly with dishes of traditional Piedmontese red meat cuts cooked in stews, stuffed pasta dishes with elaborate sauces, and also perfect with aged cow's and sheep's milk cheeses. Great for accompanying the family holiday table, savouring the history and value of Piedmont's wine heritage.
