Sandrone Winery: A Barolo Gem

Luciano Sandrone winery is more than just a producer of fine Barolo wines; it's a story of a dream realized in the heart of Piedmont's Langhe region. Founded in the late 1970s by Luciano Sandrone, who began his career as a cellar hand, the winery embodies a deep respect for tradition and an appreciation for modern winemaking. Sandrone's journey began with the purchase of a small plot in the renowned Cannubi Boschis vineyard in 1977, a site with a history dating back to 1752. Today, the estate spans 22 hectares, cultivating Nebbiolo grapes on the steep hills of Barolo. The winery produces two Barolo expressions: 'Aleste' from the original Cannubi Boschis vineyard, reflecting a single-vineyard approach, and 'Le Vigne,' a blend from several sites representing the broader Barolo region. Sandrone also produces a Nebbiolo d'Alba from the Roero region, known for its elegant and ethereal expression of the varietal. The winery welcomes visitors to experience its wines through tours and tastings, offering an intimate glimpse into the winemaking process. Visiting Sandrone offers a unique opportunity to witness the blend of tradition and innovation that defines its wines. The winery itself, built in 1998 at the foot of the Cannubi hills, reflects this philosophy. Guests can explore the vineyards, learn about the meticulous viticultural practices, and taste the acclaimed Barolo wines that have earned Sandrone international recognition. It's an immersive experience into the world of Barolo, guided by a family dedicated to crafting exceptional wines.
