Luciano Sandrone Aleste Barolo 2018

WINE ADVOCATE 96 POINTS! VINOUS 94 POINTS!

 

"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." - Monica Larner, Wine Advocate

 

"The 2018 Barolo Aleste is gorgeous...There's terrific purity to the dark red/purplish fruit and a good bit of volume too, but readers will have to be patient. Bright acids and firm tannins lend energy. I admire the presence and texture here. The Aleste, from Cannubi Boschis, benefits from a site that can handle moisture. This is nicely done." - Antonio Galloni, Vinous
