James Suckling - April 17, 2025 "This is an austere wine that’s complex and multilayered, with aromas of fresh red currants, red cherries, violets and a hint of licorice. Graphite dominates the flavors, with a full body, firm velvety tannins and long, juicy, energetic and perfectly woven acidity. Polished, elegant finish. Drinkable now, but best from 2026."

Wine Advocate - January 30, 2025 "This is a blend of fruit from Le Costa di Monforte in Monforte d'Alba, Baudana in Serralunga d'Alba, Villero in Castiglione Falletto, Vignane in Barolo and Merli in Novello. That wide span of fruit across various exposures, elevations and soil types becomes the Luciano Sandrone 2021 Barolo Le Vigne. I always have special affection for this wine, and between the Aleste and Le Vigne, this is my preferred bottle. I love the brightness and focus of the fruit, the pretty complexity and the rich mouthfeel. The fruit aromas are laced with licorice, cola and spice. The high notes are quite apparent in this excellent vintage. I came back to taste this wine 24 hours later and found those notes to be just as intense and beautiful."

Vinous - January 8, 2025 "The 2021 Barolo Le Vigne is a classy, seamless wine. Crushed flowers, bright red-toned fruit, blood orange, mint, spice and kirsch open gracefully in the glass. This is such an elegant, sophisticated Barolo. The recent shift of sites to Serralunga and Monforte, along with longer ferments, has transformed the Le Vigne into a darker, more somber wine, while the inclusion of stems in some lots adds aromatic dimension. Le Vigne is a wine in movement."

Wine Enthusiast - December 16, 2025 "Four distinct voices from Baudana (Serralunga d'Alba), Villero (Castiglione Falletto), Vignane (Barolo), and Merli (Novello) create something extraordinary together. This is Barolo's warm handshake, an invitation to understand what makes this region magical. The aromatics rise with quiet confidence: wild strawberries, morning roses, fresh sage, and subtle tar. On the palate, it reveals its soul gradually, each layer building naturally into the next, creating a wine of remarkable depth without ever feeling forced. This is how people fall in love with Barolo, through wines that speak of place with both authority and grace." Editor's Choice.

Dolcetto d’Alba

Dolcetto d'Alba

Sandrone's Dolcetto d’Alba is produced using Dolcetto grapes from 11 different vineyards, all within the Barolo DOCG. Sandrone’s Dolcetto sees no time in wood and is a remarkably robust and complex example of the variety.

Le Vigne Barolo

Barolo

Le Vigne is a wine created from four different Nebbiolo vineyards, each of which brings its own contribution. This union generates an exceptionally complex wine that is round and harmonious on the palate, with fruity and spicy notes, and this approach of blending together plots is in fact the traditional one in Barolo.

Barbera d’Alba

Barbera d'Alba

The Sandrone Barbera d'Alba comes from three vineyards: Merli and Rocche di San Nicola in Novello, and Cascina Pe Mol in Monforte d’Alba. It is widely considered one of the most intense and complex Barberas produced.

Valmaggiore

Nebbiolo d'Alba

Valmaggiore is the product of Luciano’s incredible passion for the Nebbiolo grape variety and its different expression. Just 15 miles away from Barolo, in the Roero region, Nebbiolo produces a lighter structure and ripe, smooth tannins that are not unlike those of Pinot Noir. This is not a “baby Barolo” or a second wine at all – it is a distinct interpretation of Nebbiolo from a completely distinct geographic zone.

ALESTE Barolo

Barolo

A combination of the names of Luciano Sandrone's grandchildren ALEssia and STEfano, ALESTE is the new name for Luciano's first wine, the Barolo Cannubi Boschis, which garnered early acclaim with the international trade and press. This single-vineyard wine is typically dense and concentrated, but shows incredible harmony and balance.
