Luciano Sandrone Aleste Barolo 2018 is crafted in Italy’s most renowned vineyard zones, where strict appellation rules and centuries of tradition govern production. Grapes are harvested by hand from hillside vineyards, often with a mix of marl and clay soils that encourage long ripening and concentrated fruit. Only the healthiest clusters are chosen, reflecting a deep respect for quality at the source.

Fermentation typically takes place in temperature‑controlled tanks with extended maceration to draw structure from the skins. Aging follows in large oak casks or a mix of French barriques and Slavonian botti, often for years, which allows the wine to develop depth and character while remaining faithful to its terroir. The final blend is assembled after careful tasting, ensuring balance, typicity, and longevity.

The estate’s approach blends traditional methods with modern precision, preserving regional identity while meeting international standards of excellence.

Luciano Sandrone Aleste is a celebrated Italian wine from the Piedmont region, specifically from the Barolo appellation. It is a key product of the renowned Luciano Sandrone winery, which is famous for its meticulous and quality-driven approach to winemaking.

The grapes for Aleste are sourced from vineyards in the villages of Barolo and Monforte d'Alba, which contribute to its distinct character. The wine is a blend of Nebbiolo from different plots, a practice that aims to create a more balanced and complete representation of the vintage.
