Gianfranco Alessandria's Barolo San Giovanni 1998 is a majestic expression of Piedmont. With Nebbiolo, it features an intense garnet color and complex aromas of roses, violets, and spices. Powerful, austere, with balanced tannins and a long finish of ripe fruit and tobacco. Ideal for grand occasions.
