The Sandrone Aleste was formerly known as the Sandrone Cannubi Boschis. The Luciano Sandrone 2020 Barolo Aleste is a powerful and refined wine with layered complexity. On the nose, it offers an intriguing blend of sweet earthy notes and 'drunken cherry', that is, juicy, ripe cherries infused with a subtle hint of liqueur. The wine displays a beautiful transition from ripe fruit to perfectly integrated wood notes, followed by spicy accents of licorice and spices. The balance between freshness and structure creates a dynamic and harmonious whole. This Barolo stands out for its silky texture, deep complexity, and impressive length. The wine begins with expressive fruitiness, developing into increasingly intense and refined layers. The tannins are powerful yet elegant and velvety, while the perfectly integrated acidity ensures excellent freshness and longevity. This is a wine that will develop beautifully with age, revealing new aromas and nuances. The Aleste is a tribute to Sandrone's family and is made exclusively from grapes sourced from the prestigious Cannubi Boschis vineyard in the village of Barolo. This terroir is known for its exceptional Nebbiolo wines that combine both power and finesse. The name Aleste is a combination of the names Alessia and Stefano, the grandchildren of Luciano Sandrone, and reflects the deep family traditions behind this wine. With an impressive drinking window from 2026 to 2048, this Barolo offers a long aging period during which it will further develop and refine. In its youth, it will dominate with its vibrant fruit and floral notes, while as the years pass, tertiary aromas such as truffle, leather, and dried herbs will emerge. This wine is a perfect accompaniment to rich and refined dishes, such as roasted duck with figs, braised ossobuco, game dishes, and aged cheeses like Castelmagno or an aged Parmigiano Reggiano. With only 10,000 bottles produced, the 2020 Barolo Aleste is an exclusive and coveted wine, perfect for lovers of great Barolos and a valuable addition to any wine collection
