The vineyard is one the great cru sites in Barolo, synonymous with richness and complexity. Sandrone’s ALESTE Barolo is grown on the soil of Cannubi Boschis from which it displays the characteristics of wines from this village: profound aromatic complexity and comparatively softer tannins in relation to vines grown in Monforte or Serralunga.
The “Boschis” subzone of the Cannubi has a particularly good exposure to the south and southeast in a small bowl or “conca” that helps hold the warmth in the early morning. Its soils are sea deposits of calcareous clay, not very deep, with good drainage.

Luciano Sandrone is one of Barolo's undeniable superstars. With the Langhe in his blood, Luciano began working the vines around his family home in his teenage years. He's taken some liberties with the region's traditions — for instance, he prefers a slightly shorter maceration — but always honors the exquisite terroir and the local grape varieties. Techniques like organic viticulture (practicing, but not certified), low yields and vinification in large, neutral vessels, Sandrone showcases the purity of the fruit and the land.

Professional Reviews

Wine Spectator

WS 93
"Balsamic aromas and flavors of mint, eucalyptus and sage dominate the cherry and berry notes in this linear red. There is a contradiction and tension now between its graceful entry and dense, muscular finish. Nonetheless, this is long and finds an equilibrium in the end."

Wine Enthusiast

WE 97
"Aromas of menthol, pressed rose, wild berry and grilled herb are front and center in this stunning wine along with a whiff of forest floor. Combining structure and finesse, the savory, full-bodied palate delivers juicy Marasca cherry, blood orange and licorice before an espresso finish. Firm, refined tannins provide tight support."
