Crissante Alessandria, Barolo (Piedmont, Italy) 2008

Aug 29, 2012

By Michael Franz

 This striking wine features a fabulous bouquet of earthy notes recalling damp earth, mushrooms, autumn leaves and fresh meat.  The fruit is open and sweet with faintly stewed notes, yet there’s notable acidity to freshen the overall impression.  This is a terrific rendition of a rather traditional style.
