- TASTING NOTE: “The 2021 Barbera d'Alba is packed with succulent dark cherry, plum, spice, new leather and licorice. This supple, juicy Barbera is a fine choice for drinking now and over the next handful of years. (Drink between 2023-2028)” 90 Points - Antonio Galloni, Vinous
- ABOUT THE WINE: Sandrone’s layered and polished Barbera is drawn from four sites: Cascina Pe Mol, (mentioned above); Ravera and Rocche di San Nicola (in Novello); and Albarella (in Barolo). At between 350 and 450 metres, these are some of the highest, most exposed vineyards in the region, bringing superb freshness and vibrancy to this wine. To balance the structure and acidity for which this wine is noted, Sandrone matured the wine in 500 litre tonneaux (40% of which are new). The estate has special, untoasted barrels made in Burgundy for this cuvée to ensure the wood impact is as discreet as possible. Of course, when the wine is young, some wood shows through on the nose, but it is seriously classy oak. With aging, the integration is seamless. Bibendum

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: The winemaking tradition of the Sandrone family began in the 1970s. They currently cultivate 27 hectares across the Langhe and Roero regions. Every stage of production is carried out with a commitment to sustainability and the utmost respect for the environment, starting with meticulous vineyard design to minimise the need for chemicals.
