- TASTING NOTE: "The 2019 Barolo Aleste is another stellar wine from Sandrone. Like Le Vigne, the Aleste is a tightly wound ball of energy. Dark cherry, mocha, plum, licorice and lavender all race across the palate. This racy, but youthfully austere Barolo has a ton to offer. There’s more density and a darker profile than in the Le Vigne, sort of like a soloist to Le Vigne’s orchestra.” 97 Points - Antonio Galloni
- ABOUT THE WINE: Sandrone’s signature Barolo is made entirely from Cannubi Boschis, a particularly prized parcel at the northern end of the Cannubi Hill. Here, Sandrone has 1.9 hectares of 40-year-old vines. The soil is an ideal mix of calcareous clay and sand, which provides excellent drainage and rich mineral content. The winemaking process includes partial whole bunch fermentation, with spontaneous fermentation occurring in tanks. The wine undergoes extended skin contact to ensure full extraction, followed by 22 months of maturation in a combination of old and new French oak. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: The winemaking tradition of the Sandrone family began in the 1970s. They currently cultivate 27 hectares across the Langhe and Roero regions. Every stage of production is carried out with a commitment to sustainability and the utmost respect for the environment, starting with meticulous vineyard design to minimize the need for chemicals. Their production philosophy views winemaking and winegrowing as the sum of many elements, none of which are predominant: their pursuit is to provide the world with a contemporary version of classic and iconic wines from the legendary Piemonte region.
