96+ points Luca Gardini: "From the homonymous hill of Verduno, a stone’s throw to Monvigliero, a plot of less than a hectare for a Barolo of intense complexity. Red blackberry on the nose, orange peel tension, lashes of gardenia. Nose with salty-sapid 96 tannins, supported by fruity return and finish of persistence. (Sep 2023)"
96 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "[$95 list] This vineyard delivers slightly more concentrated fruit and a medium-dark appearance from loamy calcareous soils. The 2019 Barolo San Lorenzo di Verduno delivers more oomph and power with ripe cherry, blackcurrant, dark spice and earthy aromas. Fratelli Alessandria makes some of the most harmonious wines in Verduno, and that quality comes through beautifully in this wine, despite the slightly more robust fruit weight delivered by San Lorenzo di Verduno. Only 5,000 bottles were made. Drink: 2025-2044. (8/24/23)"
95 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2019 Barolo San Lorenzo di Verduno turned out beautifully. This explosive, old-school Barolo packs a serious punch. Gravel, black cherry, menthol, lavender and crushed rocks literally stain the palate. Full-bodied and deep, with tons of virile, brooding intensity, the San Lorenzo is a winner. Readers will have to be patient, though. Drink: 2029-2044. (Jan 2024)"
95 points Ian D'Agata (Terroir Sense): "Bright red. This is multifaceted and focused, with red berry and sweet spice aromas and flavours dominating. Very spicy, very deep and very pure on the very long, sultry and well-balanced sweet finish. Offers plenty of volume for a Verduno Barolo and gorgeous tannins that are well-integrated. Drinking window: 2027-2039. (12/8/23)"
94 points Kerin O'Keefe: "Camphor, wild rose, ripe berry and new leather are just some of the aromas that you’ll find on Fratelli Alessandria’s fragrant 2019 San Lorenzo di Verduno. Full-bodied and buffed to a smooth sheen, the juicy, chewy palate doles out fleshy black cherry, crushed mint and licorice framed in tightly knit, velvety tannins. You’ll also detect the subtle warmth of alcohol on the finish, but the fruit richness easily supports it. Drink: 2026–2034. Abv: 15%. (Mar 2023)"
94 points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): "There is a fresh mineral character in the 2019 Barolo San Lorenzo Di Verduno with wet asphalt, red cherry, orange, and clove. It is medium-bodied but takes on more structure and concentration, with ripe, fine tannins, dusty earth,and cranberry cocktail, and long with citrus on the finish. A nervy wine, it will benefit from another couple of years in bottle and drink well 2026-2040. (5/4/23)"
94 points James Suckling: "Aromas of red berries, dried blood orange, cloves, walnut and moist bark. Full-bodied and layered with compact tannins that are finely grained and velvety. Long and wide on the palate with a firm and slightly tight finish. Better from 2027. (10/9/23)"
