Luciano Sandrone hører til i elitens absolutte elite. Hans Baroloer er år efter år i områdets top 5 - hvis ikke ligfrem top 3.

Stilen er - trods det nybyggede, topmoderne vineri - kun moderat moderne. Der anvendes udelukkende naturgær og macerationstiden er normalt 8-10 dage. Fadlagringen af hans Barolo foregår på 600 liters fade, hvoraf 10-20% udskiftes hvert år. Dette giver vine der ligger sig midt imellem den traditionelle "hårde" stil og den mere moderne, lidt blødere stil. Samtidig har Sandrones Barolo vine et umiskendeligt elegant, næsten feminint fingeraftryk.

Barolo Cannubi Boschis kommer fra enkeltmarken af samme navn - en mark der ligger klos op af den mere kendte Cannubi.

Sandrone’s 2005 Barolo Cannubi Boschis offers up pretty notes of mint, flowers, spices and dark red berries, with sweet notes of French oak that linger on the finish. This is a decidedly slender Cannubi Boschis that lacks some of the sheer pedigree and explosiveness of the best vintages. The tannins need some time to soften, but this is a wine that has continued to grow in bottle. It could very well turn out to be one of the vintage’s surprises. In 2005 the harvest took place at the end of September and the wine was aged in 500-liter barrels (one-third new). Anticipated maturity: 2011-2020

Offers blueberry aromas, with sweet tobacco and mahogany. Full-bodied, rich and powerful, with plum pudding and milk chocolate flavors. This is very special. The Sandrones are genius with Cannubi. Best after 2013. 790 cases made. –JS
