Monica Larner - Robert Parker Wine Advocate
The Luciano Sandrone 2020 Barolo Aleste (with 10,000 bottles released) is layered with sweet earth and drunken cherry. It shows seamless integration and a crescendo of intensity that starts with ripe fruit and dovetails into oak elements, licorice, spice and balanced acidity. This wine is very beautiful in terms of mouthfeel, with length and complexity. Aleste is made with fruit from Cannubi Boschis in the village of Barolo. This is the full monty.

Brilliant ruby colour with a fine garnet shimmer. Opens with notes of plums, rose petals and peach compote. Polished on the palate, shows layers of tannins, juicy strawberry fruit, flows calmly, very elegant and long.

Antonio Galloni MW - Vinous
The 2020 Barolo Aleste is a classy, elegant wine that will drink well right out of the gate. Black cherry, plum, mocha, licorice and dark spice resonate beautifully. Soft and succulent, with silky tannins, the 2020 Aleste is a total charmer.
