Alessandria's 2005 Barolo San Giovanni is an over-achiever in this vintage. To be sure, it is a relatively small-scaled, feminine San Giovanni, but the balance and harmony is all there in this first-class Barolo. In 2005 the wine shows more dark red fruits (as opposed to the blacker profile than is the norm), raspberries, crushed flowers, spices and French oak, yet the tannins are beautifully integrated, the finish is long and the wine's overall balance is exemplary. The San Giovanni offers an additional layer of density and richness over the Barolo, but it, too, is drinking beautifully today. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2020. Score - 93.
