LUCIANO SANDRONE
Luciano Sandrone is one of the leading producers in Barolo in the Piedmont region of North West Italy, famous for wines made from the Nebbiolo grape. Sandrone’s first harvest was in 1978, and recent developments have seen the opening of new cellaring premises built in 1998 at Via Pugnane at the base of Cannubi hill, in the heart of the Barolo district.
The focus of Luciano Sandrone can be summarized by low yields in the vineyard and a relatively short maceration period, which produces rich, attractive, elegant and complex wines in a modern style that are approachable when young but also have the structure and potential for ageing and development as traditional Barolos. Sandrone does not believe in heavily oaked wines and therefore uses only 10% new oak in the maturation process. The low production volumes mean that Sandrone wines are highly sought after due to their relative rarity. Sandrone is huge fan of Burgundy and his wines display the elegance and finesse that are characteristic of top Burgundy wines. Sandrone’s best-known wines are his single vineyard Barolos, Cannubi Boschis and Le Vigne. They are amongst the most complex and interesting Barolos being produced today which has resulted in their fabled status.
