Luciano Sandrone Barbera d'Alba

A magnificent Northern Italian red wine displaying a deep, concentrated purple-ruby color. Sourced from choice hillside vineyards across the Barolo and Novello regions, this pure expression opens with an incredibly expressive bouquet of ripe dark cherries, black plums, and wild blackberries. The complex nose is beautifully layered with sweet regional undertones of cocoa powder, licorice root, sweet baking spices, and a hint of warm vanilla from careful aging in French oak tuns. On the palate, it balances a fleshy, full-bodied fruit density and a remarkably vibrant, mouthwatering acidity with silky, supple tannins, culminating in a seamless, exceptionally balanced, and long-lasting savory finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs flawlessly with rich pasta dishes with meat ragù, roasted duck or goose, grilled pork chops, and medium-aged cheeses.
