Product Details
Code: SAND001B
Luciano Sandrone is an Italian wine producer of Piedmont, particularly known for its red wines from the Nebbiolo, Barbera and Dolcetto grapes. The Sandrone estate was founded in 1978, a year after after Luciano Sandrone had bought a small parcel in Cannubi Boschis. Initially, wines were made in the garage of his parents' house. A trip to Vinitaly in 1982 allowed Luciano to sell all of his 1978 Barolo to a US distributor, providing the starting point for a long, slow period of growth.
Compact structure, which opens with air, giving more of the black plum aromas so characteristic of this wine. With coaxing, the nose reveals more black and red fruits, vanilla and spicy notes. On the palate, the characteristic freshness is front and center, with a core a fruit and sweet tannins to give balance and length. The finish is very fresh, with bright bursts of fruit and acid.
