Luciano Sandrone is a renowned producer in the Barolo region, known for crafting wines that beautifully express the Nebbiolo grape's potential. The Sandrone Barolo Aleste is a testament to this, offering a complex and elegant profile. This wine is made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes, sourced from the prestigious Barolo appellation in Piedmont, Italy. The winemaking process involves traditional fermentation followed by aging in French oak barrels, which imparts subtle oak nuances without overpowering the wine's natural characteristics. The flavor profile is rich with notes of red cherries, roses, and earthy undertones, complemented by firm tannins and vibrant acidity. This Barolo pairs wonderfully with hearty dishes such as braised meats, truffle risotto, and aged cheeses.

Professional Scores

Made with fruit from Cannubi Boschis, the Luciano Sandrone 2018 Barolo Aleste is plump and ripe, but this wine also shows a more delicate character that is its ace card. The aromas are filigreed and fine with dark fruit, spice and licorice. The effect is integrated, and the wine shows a lovely, softer personality to balance out this mildly concentrated expression.
