Starting with thick concentration and inky darkness, the Luciano Sandrone 2021 Barbera d'Alba has cooked fruit aromas and some savory tones too, such as leather, spice and a hint of dusty licorice root. The style is big, and this wine is conventional with big juicy sensations. It's all very elaborate for a Barbera d'Alba, but we are talking about a vintage that naturally delivers extra concentration. Production is 25,000 bottles.
The Sandrone family acquired a two-hectare Nebbiolo vineyard in Le Coste di Monforte (in Monforte d'Alba) in March 2021. Starting with the 2019 vintage, that fruit is part of the Barolo Le Vigne blend.
