Luciano Sandrone Barbera d'Alba 2022
Region: Alba, Piedmont
Variety: Barbera
Country: Italy
Vintage: 2022
The Wine
Spontaneously fermented in stainless steel followed by malolactic and nine months in mid to large French oak (500 L barrels), Sandrone’s Barbera is lifted and serious. Sources include Monforte d’Alba and Barolo zones—a step above everyday Barberas.
Cellared says
Silky-textured and super fragrant with ripe cherry-plum, wild blueberry fruit, cedar spice and velvety tannins. A serious Barbera that rewards cellaring in the medium term.
Wine Reviews
“The 2020 Barbera d’Alba is another wine that shows the greater refinement at Sandrone these days. Even so, there’s plenty of richness in the ripe red cherry, plum, mocha and spice flavors. Soft, silky contours wrap it all together, with a gentle kiss of oak that lingers. The 2020 is an absolute delight.”
93 points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous
“This is a terrific value wine. Darkly saturated and rich, the 2020 Barbera d'Alba is packed tight with dark blackberry and plum. This hot-vintage Barbera is lovely to pair with grilled meats or easy chicken recipes. This is a luscious, generous wine from Piedmont.”
