Expert Reviews
The Luciano Sandrone 2022 Barolo Aleste (with the blue label) strikes a compelling balance between concentrated dark fruit and savory oak-driven complexity. Broadly textured and rich by Nebbiolo standards, the wine reveals the imprint of its aging program through lingering notes of sweet spice, toasted nut, black fruit and dried plum. The warmth of the vintage has amplified the wine's depth and textural richness, yet the various elements remain well integrated, meeting at a point of harmony. This is a generous, full-flavored expression of Aleste with considerable aromatic persistence and palate weight. Tasted one day later, my open sample had settled into a polished, silky texture.
Blood oranges and rose petals. The palate is medium- to full-bodied, showing significant yet evenly distributed tannins, complemented by lovely fruit with discreet yet vivid acidity. Clean, with very pleasant, slightly grippy tannins in the finish. Drink or hold.
Aleste carries Luciano's legacy forward in the most personal way possible, named for his grandchildren Alessia and Stefano and built on four decades of devotion to the Cannubi Boschis hillside. An aromatic smorgasbord of bright lifted warm fruits, flowers and spiced tea with the kind of confidence and depth that speaks to everything that came before it. Vibrant and juicy on the palate with well defined but pliable tannins that make this as approachable as it is profound. Drink now through 2050.
From Cannubi Boschis, the 2022 Barolo Aleste pours a deep ruby hue. Aromas of raspberry liqueur, rose water, and sweet earth emerge from the glass. Medium-bodied, it balances freshness and concentration with refined tannins and bright energy across the palate. Drink 2026-2046.
