Luciano Sandrone
About Luciano Sandrone
One of the longest-lived and most imposing styles of fine wine on the planet, Barolo counts itself as the widely acknowledged “King of Italian Wines” - with good reason. Forged from the ancient hills of Piedmont and crafted from the iconic Nebbiolo grape, top cuvées are amongst the most desirable bottles in the world.
Beginning his legendary career at the famous Marchesi di Barolo, it was in fact whilst still working there that Luciano Sandrone produced his 1989 Barolo Cannubi Boschis, one of Piedmont’s most revered wines ever. Marked for immeasurable success since before this seminal vintage, Sandrone left in the Spring of 1990 to focus entirely on his own estate – a move the vinous world thanks him for!

The 2012 Barolo Le Vigne, here in a library release, is still a very young wine. Bright acids lift a core of red fruit in a Barolo that impresses with its vibrancy. Spice, blood orange, mint, rose petal and lavender open with a bit of time in the glass. The 2012 showed quite a bit of potential as a young wine, now, that potential is really starting to come through. This is a terrific showing.HK$3,195.00 -

The 2012 Barolo Cannubi Boschis is exquisite. Soft and silky (for a still-youthful Barolo), the 2012 is positively stellar. Ripe dark cherry, plum, spice, leather, menthol and licorice build effortlessly with a bit of time in the glass. The 2012 is not a profound wine, but it is exceptionally beautiful and also a fabulous choice for drinking now and over the next 15-20 yearsHK$4,550.00 -
