Gianfranco Alessandria is one of the most consistent, reliable growers in the Langhe. These wines simply never disappoint, except when Mother Nature chooses to be difficult, as was the case in 2010. Both 2011 Barolos are gorgeous. The straight Barolo is a bit brighter and more floral, while the San Giovanni tends to be a little darker and show more French oak influence. Both wines have proven to age quite well. After well over a decade of following these wines, I can only conclude that Gianfranco Alessandria's only real limits are those of the sites he works with.

It's great to see Gianfranco Alessandria bounce back after a tough 2010 vintage in which hail compromised the quality of his wines. This is one Barolo estate where 2011 is without any question superior to 2010.
