Luciano Sandrone is one of the most iconic producers in Barolo, and his is both a well known and extraordinary story. In the bottle, Sandrone’s wines straddle the modern and traditional styles of the region: elegant, attractive and easy to appreciate right from their first years in bottle, but with no less power and structure over time than traditional Barolos. He made his first vintage in 1978, in the garage of his parents, and then spent years refining his ideas about how to make a wine. He then made every vintage until 1999 at home, until the winery he constructed in 1998 was ready for use.
