The 2023 Luciano Sandrone Barbera d'Alba is a beautifully polished and expressive Barbera from one of Piemonte’s most respected producers, crafted in a refined modern style that balances richness with freshness and elegance. The nose reveals blackberry, black cherry and plum layered alongside violet, sweet spice and subtle graphite notes, giving the wine impressive depth and lift.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with silky tannins, vibrant natural acidity and beautifully pure dark berry fruit. Layers of black cherry and plum are balanced by savoury spice, gentle oak complexity and mineral freshness, finishing long, smooth and finely structured with remarkable energy and polish.
