Alessandria's 2020 Barolo Capalot is a wonderfully elegant, poised wine. It offers up hints of macerated cherry, spice, orange peel, cinnamon, dried flowers and earth. Deep and layered, yet also nicely finessed, the 2020 is super-impressive in this tasting. It's the finest wine I have tasted to date from Alessandria and a wonderful harbinger for the future. But, then I tasted the Monvigliero. Drinking window: 2025 - 2040
