The 2021 Luciano Sandrone Barolo Aleste is a profound and beautifully refined Barolo sourced from the historic Cannubi Boschis vineyard, one of the cornerstone sites of Luciano Sandrone’s legacy in Barolo. Crafted in Sandrone’s signature polished style, the wine combines immense depth and structure with remarkable elegance and precision. The nose reveals red cherry, raspberry and dried rose layered alongside sweet spice, graphite, tobacco and earthy mineral notes, giving the wine exceptional complexity and lift.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with finely woven tannins, vibrant natural acidity and beautifully concentrated red berry fruit. Layers of cherry, cranberry and savoury spice are balanced by mineral freshness, subtle oak integration and remarkable tension, finishing long, poised and deeply structured with outstanding ageing potential.
Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2021 Luciano Sandrone Barolo Aleste is a superb modern Barolo - powerful, savoury and beautifully detailed with extraordinary finesse and longevity. Perfect with truffle dishes, braised beef, roast game, mushroom risotto or aged hard cheeses. Enjoy now with extended decanting or cellar gracefully through 2055+.
