WINEMAKING

Spontaneous fermentation from indigenous yeasts • Maceration and fermentation in open steel tanks • Malolactic fermentation and ageing in 500L French oak barrels

VINTAGE

The 2021 Piedmont growing season began with a cold winter and snowfall, followed by a difficult spring with heavy rains, frosts, and hailstorms. April frosts reduced yields in key sites, while July hailstorms caused additional damage, though Barolo and Barbaresco were mostly spared. A warm but stable summer, coupled with well-timed rains, helped balance the vintage. Harvest ran from late September to mid-October, producing structured, aromatic wines with ripe tannins, drawing comparisons to the 2016 vintage.

James Suckling - January 20, 2026 "Red cherries, flowers and pomegranate with a nervy note. The palate is medium- to full-bodied, more on the fuller end of the spectrum, yet very balanced and harmonious, with a tender red-fruit profile and an attractive savory undertone. Great energy. Drink or hold."

Vinous - January 20, 2026 "The 2022 Barolo Le Vigne is beautifully done. Aromatic and medium in body, the 2022 is impeccably balanced. Sweet red cherry fruit, chalk, mint, white pepper and dried herbs lend lovely aromatic presence. The 2022 is a touch slender, but it is a fine wine given what was possible in this vintage. It gets more and more finessed with time in the glass. Vineyard sites are Baudana, Villero, Vignane, Le Coste di Monforte and Merli."

Vite Talin Barolo

Barolo

Vite Talin is Sandrone's rarest Barolo, born from a single anomalous Nebbiolo vine that Luciano discovered in 1987 in a vineyard leased from an elderly farmer known as "Talin." The vine's unusually small, dark clusters and distinctly compact character set it apart from everything growing around it. After 25 years of experimentation and DNA confirmation in 2017, the 2013 vintage became the first official release. Made from 100% Nebbiolo, it is fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged three years in French oak before spending another three years in bottle, debuting a full six years after harvest. Rich, structured, and built for long cellaring.

Sibi et Paucis 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.

Sibi et Paucis ALESTE Barolo

Barolo

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

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.

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.
