Across the road from Barolo's Cannubi Boschis, the northern most vineyard portion of the revered Cannubi hill, lies the scenic Luciano Sandrone estate. Luciano left the Marchesi di Barolo winery in 1990 on the heels of crafting out the outstanding ’89 and never looked back, today one of the Barolo stars of the region.
For the Cannubi Boschis, Luciano harvests & vinifies his grapes from three mostly south facing separate sub-plots while the Le Vigne is a blend of grapes from four separate plots in Barolo, Baudana in Serralunga d’Alba, & Novello. Starting in 2011, Villero fruit will also be added. Both Barolo are aged for a length of four years.
In this video, Luciano’s daughter Barbara, speaks about the differences between the two Barolo and as you will gather, these are wines that deserve some space in your cellar.
