Barolo, Cannubi Boschis

Luciano Sandrone is one of the more recent producers from Barolo, not buying his own acreage in the acclaimed Cannubi Boschis vineyard until 1978. Sandrone's wine leans toward the modern influence with both the ability to drink young and cellar for years and years.

"The 1996, one of the estate's best, takes things to another level. It shows an outrageous, well-delineated nose of fresh roses, minerals and menthol followed waves of dark fruit and licorice flavors that are just beginning to show the signs of early maturity, with exceptional freshness, length, and harmony." (Antonio Galloni for the Wine Advocate, 4/07)

"1989; From the moment this bottle is opened it is clear that this is very special wine that captures all of the classic aged-Barolo notes in an updated, contemporary style, Sandrone's 1989 is a reference-point wine for the region." (Antonio Galloni for the Wine Advocate, 4/07)
