2021 Luciano Sandrone Barolo Aleste

98 POINTS

Falstaff

Brilliant, intense ruby colour with a slight garnet sheen. Presents itself with notes of raspberry and ripe plum, with fine spicy-earthy tones in the background. Fills the palate, shows lots of fine raspberry fruit, then opens up with precisely placed tannins, very good tension, full drive on the finish, lingers for a long time.

The 2021 Barolo Aleste is off-the-charts gorgeous. Vertical and explosive in the glass, with tremendous energy, the 2021 possesses unbelievable richness married to vibrant energy. Plum, black cherry, gravel, lavender and mocha soar out of the glass. Readers will find a Barolo of stature and breeding.

Monica Larner - Robert Parker Wine Advocate

With fruit from the Cannubi Boschis vineyard, the 2021 Barolo Aleste is a lavish and beautiful expression with dark fruit, spice, licorice, cola and blue flower. The house style is always fruit-forward and bold at the Sandrone family estate, but you can also count on the wines to show excellent contouring with oak spice, soft richness and texture thanks to expertly applied tonneaux aging. The balance is impeccable. Production is 10,000 bottles.
