Sandrone Aleste Barolo DOCG 2014 Italien Piemont Rotwein. Cannubi ist die berühmteste Lage im gesamten Barolo. Kalkstein und etwas Lehm findet man hier vor. Ganze Bücher wurden diesem Weinberg gewidmet. Kraft und Eleganz, Ying und Yang, direkt in der Gemeinde Barolo gelegen. Dieser wahrhaft feine Tropfen gehört zu dem besten, was Barolos so in die Flasche bringen! Er wird ab dem Jahrgang 2013 den Namen Aleste tragen, und aus je drei Buchstaben der Namen der Enkelkinder Lucianos, Alessia und Stefano, bestehen. Die Tannine sind geschliffen und rund. Der Wein ist voll und komplex. Dunkle Waldfrüchte, Lakritz, toastwürzige Aromen ... Voraussichtlicher Trinkgenuss: 2018 bis 2050.

This is the second year Aleste is produced instead of Cannubi Boschis, however the grapes are exactly the same. The 2014 Barolo Aleste is named after Luciano Sandrone's grandchildren Alessia and Stefano. The 2014 is still wound up and will require extra time to find its footing. The Sandrone family lost 25% of their fruit production in this challenging harvest. The wine offers fragrant notes of wild cherry and cassis with smoke, crushed stone and candied orange peel. The tannins are firm and textured. It is the palate (more than the nose) that requires more time to soften.

Heart and continuity. ALESTE is the natural continuity of Luciano's first wine, the Barolo Cannubi Boschis. Giving all the experience, knowledge, patience and passion of his many harvests, Luciano pays tribute, with boldness and sensibility, to the next family generation: "ALESTE" is in fact the combination of the names of his grandchildren ALEssia and STEfano.

An iconic wine. From the very first bottling in 1985, Luciano always believed in the unique and distinctive potential of the Cannubi hill, and that he wanted to express this potential by way of a separate vinification. This bottling pays homage to the richness and elegance of the favored Cannubi site in the heart of the Barolo. The optimal soil and climate conditions, harvest after harvest, have brought forth a wine that has drawn international attention since its first release.
