For a village blend, that's an unexpected (and unusual) result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrafted in the northernmost Barolo township of Verduno, the 'Barolo del Comune di Verduno' from Fratelli Alessandria highlights the refined, aromatic hallmark that has made this village legendary among Nebbiolo connoisseurs.
