Fratelli Alessandria is one of the most historic, benchmark estates in the village of Verduno, with winemaking roots tracing back to the early 19th century. While renowned for their soul-stirring Barolos, the family treats Verduno’s native grape—Pelaverga Piccolo—with the same old-school reverence. Aptly named Speziale for its unmistakable signature aroma of freshly cracked white pepper, this unique red bursts from the glass with wild strawberries, fresh violets, and savory spice, leading into a crisp, mineral freshness. Utterly charming and endlessly versatile, especially served with a light chill.
