Dolcetto d'Alba

March 11, 2026 - A pure, expressive Dolcetto from 11 Barolo vineyards, Sandrone’s Dolcetto d’Alba shows the estate’s hallmark balance of fruit, structure, and freshness. No wood aging preserves its vivid character and layered complexity.

Vinous - January 08, 2025 "The 2023 Dolcetto d'Alba is gorgeous. Aromatic, light on its feet and gracious, the 2023 is a delight. It offers up a super-classic profile of crushed blue fruits, leather, spice,…

Sandrone Barbera d’Alba 2022

Barbera d'Alba

March 11, 2026 - Barbera is a delicate and demanding grape variety. A meticulous search in the area for the very best soils, agronomical decisions and particular attention to vinification enable Sandrone to show the very best qualities of this wine. Barbera d’Alba is made to be a medium-weight wine that will drink well for a decade. It shows delicious and plump berry and black fruits. As Barbera possesses almost no natural tannins, the use of tonneaux gives the wine some much-needed structure. It is a perfect match with rich dishes as the bright acidity keeps it from being too heavy.

Vinous - January 08, 2025 "The 2022 Barbera d'Alba is packed with ripe red cherry/plum fruit. Mocha, spice, cedar and leather add layers of nuance. This succulent, forward Barbera is an absolute delight."

Wine Spectator - December 31, 2024 "An opulent style, combining a velvety texture with saturated flavors of plum, black cherry, boysenberry and vanilla. Harmonious and vibrant, with a light grip of tannins on the finish."

Wine Spectator - October 31, 2024 "Black cherry and blackberry fruit is shaded by notes of iron and earth, plus a hint of orange peel. This ripe and lively red is balanced, ending with a light…

E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie La Turque 2019

Cote-Rotie

March 04, 2026 - E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie La Turque was replanted in 1980 and '81 after the family acquired the site through their purchase of Vidal-Fleury. Though dormant for decades, Etienne Guigal remembered the quality of wines once made from this vineyard and led its revival, starting in 1985. La Turque occupies a unique position on the Côte Brune with soils that give the wine a rich, exotic character. Stylistically, it bridges the power of La Landonne and the elegance of La Mouline, combining intensity with seductive finesse.

Jeb Dunnuck - March 28, 2024 "The 2019 Côte Rôtie La Turque reminds me slightly of the 2010, which at a recent tasting I thought was the greatest young wine I had ever tasted. The 2019…

Wine Advocate - November 20, 2025 "Austere and somewhat somber—no doubt influenced by the high proportion of iron oxide in the soils—the 2019 Côte-Rôtie La Turque is nonetheless elegant and remarkably delicate. It unfurls from the…

James Suckling - April 26, 2023 "From the haunting nose through to the end of the extremely long finish this wine embodies the rocky personality of Cote-Rotie, along with the special ripeness that the syrah achieves…

Vinous - March 01, 2024 "The muscular 2019 Côte-Rôtie La Turque is a wine of substance and class. Powerful and deep, it exhibits a juicy core of succulent black fruits, crushed rocks, black olives, espresso,…
