Since the mid-19th century, the Alessandria family has called Verduno, at the northern edge of the Barolo zone, home. Then, Verduno was the center of Barolo winemaking—here families first crafted dry Nebbiolo wines in the style we know today. The estate, initially known as Fratelli Dabbene, traces its first commercial wine release back to 1830. From 1870 on, after a marriage, it has been called Fratelli Alessandria. Favorita is a rare white grape of Piemonte, produced in tiny quantities. Aged in stainless steel, this is a refreshing and fruit forward wine reminiscent of Vermentino.
