2020 Luciano Sandrone Barolo Aleste Magnum

The Sandrone Aleste was first called the former Sandrone Cannubi Boschis. The Luciano Sandrone 2020 Barolo Aleste is a powerful and refined wine with a layered complexity. On the nose it offers an intriguing mix of sweet earthy notes and 'drunken cherry', or juicy, ripe cherries infused with a subtle hint of liqueur. The wine shows 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 ensures a dynamic and harmonious whole.

This Barolo stands out for its silky texture, deep complexity and impressive length. The wine starts with an expressive fruitiness, then develops with 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 grown in 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 of 2026 to 2048, this Barolo offers a long maturation period in which it will continue to develop and refine. In its youth it will dominate with its lively fruit and floral notes, while as the years pass, tertiary aromas such as truffle, leather and dried herbs will come to the fore.

This wine is a perfect accompaniment to rich and refined dishes, such as roast duck with figs, braised ossobuco, game dishes and mature cheeses such as 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 worthy addition to any wine collection. This is a 1.5 liter magnum. Even more delicious and with a longer drinking window.
