95 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "[$70 list] These village-specific wines are growing in popularity, and among the various expressions on the market today, this wine from Verduno is really quite special thanks to its highly distinctive floral aromas and its delicate sense of inner balance. A new project being inaugurated with this vintage, the Fratelli Alessandria 2019 Barolo del Comune di Verduno shows a fine, streamlined mouthfeel with polished tones of river stone, crushed rose and licorice root. The aromas are refined and fragile. Drink: 2024-2040. (8/24/23)"
95 points Kerin O'Keefe: "Fragrant and refined, Fratelli Alessandria’s 2019 Barolo del Comune di Verduno opens with enticing scents recalling dog rose, perfumed forest berry, cedar and eucalyptus. Lithe and elegantly structured, the savory palate reveals juicy red cherry, spiced cranberry and star anise accompanied by taut, fine-grained tannins. It’s well balanced, with fresh acidity. Drink: 2024–2034. (Mar 2023)"
93 points Bruce Sanderson (Wine Spectator): "[$70 list] Aromatic and elegant, evoking flavors of cherry and strawberry fruit, plus notes of licorice, tar and mown hay. Silky in texture, this is impeccably balanced, with a light dusting of tannins and lingering fruit gracing the finish. Best from 2026 through 2043. 1,700 cases made, 500 cases imported. (4/30/24)"
93 points James Suckling: "Very attractive nose with dried red berries, sandalwood, toasted spices, wet stones and undergrowth. It’s firm and tight but juicy and vivid with a full body and velvety tannins. Lingering finish. Try after 2026. (10/9/23)"
92 points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): "There is expansive perfume of anise, raspberry liqueur, rose petal, and chalky earth in the glass of the 2019 Barolo Del Comune Di Verduno. It is medium-bodied, with a persistent linear structure and fresh-driven citrus of orange peel, tea leaf, and cranberry. Allow another year and drink 2025-2035. Drink: 2025-2035. (5/4/23)"
