Fine Wines From Luciano Sandrone

These were tasted at Magnusson Fine Wines, courtsey of Provinum.

2024 Dolcetto d´Alba

A fine, iron filled nose with notes of damsons, flower water, chocolate biscuits and some peppery notes. Very, very good.

The taste is structured and seedy with notes of ripe blueberries, iron and silky tannins. Long, dry and fine. Very fine for the vintage.

90p   (tasted 2026/02)

2023 Barbera d´Alba

An open, spicy and warm nose with notes of sugared coffee, licorice and scorched earth. 

The taste is tight and fiery with notes of ripe raspberries, fir smoke and licorice. Long and warm.

88p   (tasted 2026/02)

2023 Nebbiolo d´Alba Valmaggiore

A cool, deep nose with notes of violets, ripening cherries, flowers and fine balsamic notes. Elegant and lovely.

The taste is tight and refined with polished tannins, gorgeous cherry fruit and a long, lingering finish. 

93p   (tasted 2026/02)

2021 Barolo Le Vigne

A finely tuned, complex nose with notes of ripe black cherries, warm Langhe earth, leather and a hint of oak. Very young.

The taste is tight and forward with notes of hard cherry candy, tiles, violets and taut tannins. 8+ years.

92p   (tasted 2026/02)

2021 Barolo Aleste

A deep, layered nose with notes of ripe cherries, Christmas spices, paint and licorice. High and very fine.

The taste is all about power and structure with gorgeous cherry fruit, albeit withdrawn and in the backseat today, but this is going places, just wait 12+ years.

95p   (tasted 2026/02)

2019 Barolo Vite Talin

A bottomless, aristocratic, broad nose with notes of hard cherry candy, fine tobacco, violets and fresh mushrooms. Just stunning.

The taste is very concentrated and intense with boatloads of ripe cherries, leather, violets and sweet minerals. The finish goes on forever. Polished yet broad shouldered tannins. 15+ years.
