Sandrone Barolo Nebbiolo 2017: A Pinnacle of Piedmont Elegance

Crafted by the revered Sandrone estate in Italy’s legendary Barolo region, this 2017 Nebbiolo embodies the artistry of Piedmont winemaking. Celebrated with 97-point accolades from Wine Enthusiast and James Suckling, it stands among the finest Italian red wines of the vintage.

Sensory Journey
Uncork an opulent bouquet of dried roses, sandalwood, and truffle-kissed berries, layered with whispers of cedar and vanilla. The palate unfolds with structured elegance—ripe Morello cherry and crushed raspberry harmonize with refined tannins, while hints of licorice and camphor add depth. Medium-to-full-bodied yet velvety, it balances vibrant acidity with a lingering, spice-tinged finish.

Age-Worthy Distinction
Though already seductive, this Barolo’s firm tannic backbone promises remarkable evolution. Optimal drinking begins in 2024, with peak complexity unfolding through 2042. Perfect for collectors seeking cellar-worthy Italian wines or connoisseurs celebrating milestones.
