Luciano Sandrone | Barolo

Precision and vision in Barolo - Sandrone redefined what modern Nebbiolo could be.

The Estate

Luciano Sandrone founded his estate in 1978, quickly establishing a reputation as one of Barolo’s most important modern voices. Still family-run today, the domaine combines meticulous vineyard work with a refined, thoughtful approach in the cellar, producing wines that are both expressive and age-worthy.

The Vineyards

Sandrone’s wines are sourced from some of Barolo’s most respected sites, including Cannubi Boschis (now known as Aleste) and Le Vigne, a blend of carefully selected parcels across the region. These vineyards provide both structure and aromatic complexity, capturing the diversity of Barolo’s terroir.

The Wines

Sandrone wines are known for their clarity, balance, and polished structure. While often associated with the modernist movement, the wines retain a strong sense of place, offering both immediate appeal and the ability to evolve with time.

Key wines include:

• Barolo Aleste (formerly Cannubi Boschis)

• Barolo Le Vigne

• Barbera d’Alba

• Nebbiolo d’Alba Valmaggiore
