Yard notes & kiln story
Description
Founded in 1850 by Giovan Battista Burlotto—one of the first producers to sell Barolo in bottle rather than cask—the estate faded into obscurity after his death until fifth-generation Fabio Alessandria revived it to its current prominence
The 2012 vintage was a classic study in adversity rewarded: spring frosts and hail cut yields by forty percent
and Carignan from high-altitude vineyards creates a wine that defies easy comparison
In Oltrepo Pavese
But the region also boasts shale and sandstone soils that produce gorgeously silky Pinot Noir with dusty tannins
