Luciano Sandrone Barbera d'Alba 2024
Producer Luciano Sandrone
Region, Country Barbera d'Alba, Italy
Bottle Size 750ml
Product Code 26689-750

Sandrone’s layered, polished Barbera is drawn from four excellent sites: Cascina Pe Mol (Monforte d’Alba), Ravera and Rocche di San Nicola (in Novello), and Albarella (in Barolo). At between 350 and 450 metres, these are some of the region's highest, most exposed vineyards, bringing superb freshness and vibrancy to this wine. To balance Barbera’s notable acidity, Sandrone matured the wine in 500-litre tonneaux (40% of which were new). The Estate has special, untoasted barrels made in Burgundy for this cuvée to ensure the wood’s impact is as discreet as possible. When the wine is young, some classy oak shows through on the nose, but it only adds to the appeal. With some age, the integration is seamless. As always, this is superb.


Luciano Sandrone Barbera d'Alba 2024

Reviews

“Damp earth and stewing plum and cherry open with a lush and immediately seductive depth before thyme and rosemary arrive and give the nose a wild and aromatic lift that feels almost effortlessly Piedmontese. The palate delivers everything you could want from Barbera and then some, where the generous and lush fruit is threaded through with an unexpected vein of refinement and elegance that elevates this into genuinely serious territory.”
94 points, Jeff Porter, Wine Enthusiast
“Fruity wine with intense, floral and red and black cherry aromas, together with almost estery and slightly leafy character and depth of graphite. Supple palate with medium body, zesty acidity and a peppery finish elongated by silky tannins with a hint of blood oranges. Drink or hold.”
93 points, Aldo Fiordelli, James Suckling
“The 2024 Barbera d’Alba is a bold, joyous wine. Succulent dark-toned fruit, chocolate, new leather, cloves and rose petal build nicely in the glass. This exuberant, generous Barbera hits all the right notes. It’s another impressive 2024 from Sandrone.”
