Crissante Alessandria | Barolo del Comune di La Morra

Barolo from the commune of La Morra, generally the most perfumed and approachable of the eleven villages, made by a family estate working native Langhe grapes on land they have farmed for generations.

Tasting Notes
Tobacco, camphor and rose petal aromas lead the nose. The firm, elegant palate offers cranberry, clove and white pepper alongside dusty tannins. Rose and tar is the classic Nebbiolo signature, and La Morra's soils tend to give more of the rose than the tar. Barolo from here opens earlier than from Serralunga or Monforte, without losing the structure that lets it age.
