Luciano Sandrone
Piedmont • Italy
Introduction
The wines of Luciano Sandrone are often compared with Burgundy because of their lift, elegance and silky texture coupled with polished tannins. In a relatively short period of time, Sandrone has grown to be one of the more respected producers in Piedmont. Having started in 1978, he now produces roughly 8,000 cases. He is certainly a “modernist” but has refined his ability to reflect site while implementing winemaking techniques like new oak and shorter fermentations. However, he also employs many “traditional” techniques like open top fermentations, even though they ferment longer than many traditional wineries.
The True Modernist
One of the secrets to this balancing act is that he uses 500 liter barrels rather than the 225 liter barrels more common among most modernists, and he usually uses only 10-20% new oak. He also tends to bottle early, keeping the fruit and freshness in his wines. Remarkably these wines drink very well in their youth, even his top wines like his Barolo Aleste (formerly known as Cannubi Boschis) and Le Vigne are approachable on release.
