The story begins in 1977 with Sandrone’s founder, the late Luciano Sandrone, who bought a parcel of less than a hectare in Cannubi Boschis, the undisputed cradle of Barolo. Over the next 40 years the winery would go on to acquire plots in Barolo and Roero, with the producer now spanning across 27 hectares.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLuciano’s daughter Barbara and brother Luca now sit at the helm of the company, with his wife Mariuccia. The third generation, in the form of Alessia, is very much involved in the day-to-day running of the winery. The wines of Sandrone are expressions of elegance and finesse and speak of the land they come from. Sustainability and heritage are taken very seriously, and the family’s ultimate goal is to achieve the highest quality possible for each of the six wines, while showing the terroir of the different vineyards.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"sandrone-dolcetto-dalba","title":"Sandrone Dolcetto d'Alba 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Sandrone Dolcetto d'Alba is sourced from eleven different parcels situated on the highest hills of Barolo.

Beautiful ruby red in colour the Sandrone Dolcetto d'Alba displays aromas of plum, blackberry and marasca cherry, framed by delicate spicy notes. The palate is sweet and voluptuous with great structure and ripe tannins which together create a feeling of volume and density.

The Sibi et Paucis is not a different wine, but a desire to retain a few bottles that are placed in the optimal conditions of Sandrone's special \"Wine Library\" where they slumber, slowly improving and refining as time passes. Their seal on these special bottles denotes a complete belief in this process. The Valmaggiore vineyard is a superb amphitheatre in the Roero district and the Nebbiolo grapes grown here are so highly regarded that back in the 19th century they dictated the price for the entire territory. In the 1990s Luciano, Luca and Barbara fell in love at first sight with Valmaggiore. The Nebbiolo grape in Roero is distinguished for its finesse and elegance. On the palate, the flavours of red cherries are intertwined with fresh acidity and sweetly structured tannins.

Already, in the 19th century, the Nebbiolo grapes grown in this vineyard were so highly regarded that they dictated the price for the entire territory. The ground here is soft and sandy, the slopes extremely steep. Respect for nature and tradition was a strategic decision for Luciano and Luca in how the vineyard was planted which continues to this day. Cultivation is by hand and row-by-row, from bud break to when the grapes are harvested the vineyard is a laboratory for healthy and well-cultivated fruit. The Valmaggiore Nebbiolo d'Alba displays aromas of red fruits, roses, white pepper and freshly picked violets. On the palate, red fruits are front and centre, framed by tobacco, spice and mineral notes. The tannins are both strong and soft yet give the wine its unmistakable mid-weight structure.

Sourced from some of the region's finest vineyards, Le Vigne is a flagship wine renowned for its harmonious structure, refined tannins, and exceptional longevity. This is an essential acquisition for any serious collector or Barolo enthusiast. Unlike single-vineyard Barolo, Le Vigne (The Vines) is a traditional cru blend, marrying the distinct terroirs of multiple elite villages: Barolo (Vignane), Castiglione Falletto (Villero), Novello (Merli), and Serralunga d'Alba (Baudana). This classic approach yields a wine of incredible complexity, capturing the full spectrum of the Barolo appellation in a single bottle. A complex and intense bouquet revealing classic notes of crushed roses, violet, liquorice, and tar, underpinned by ripe black cherry and sweet baking spice. The palate is powerful and full-bodied, yet exquisitely elegant. It features fine-grained, silky tannins - a hallmark of Sandrone's modern style - that frame dark fruit and a distinctive mineral tension. The finish is sustained and lifted by Nebbiolo's bracing acidity. Built for the long haul, ready to evolve over the next 20 to 30 years.
