Luciano Sandrone's Barbera d'Alba 2022 is a wine that celebrates the richness and versatility of Barbera, grown in the municipalities of Barolo and Monforte d'Alba. This intense ruby red with purple hues offers an enveloping bouquet of ripe cherry, blackberry, violet and sweet spices, with a hint of vanilla from the wood aging. On the palate it is full-bodied and well-balanced, with a lively freshness that balances the richness of the fruit, soft tannins and a long and slightly spicy finish. The fresh and generous 2022 vintage gives this Barbera an elegance that makes it perfect to accompany succulent dishes or to be enjoyed on its own, with an aging potential of 5-7 years.
