Sandrone Barolo 2017: A Masterpiece from Piedmont’s Legendary Terroir

Crafted by the esteemed Sandrone winery in Barolo, Piedmont, Italy, this 2017 Nebbiolo is a symphony of elegance and power, earning critical acclaim with 97 points from Wine Enthusiast, 96 from James Suckling, and 95 from Wine & Spirits. A true expression of its terroir, this wine captivates with its complex aromatics and structured yet refined palate, making it a standout choice for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Aromatic Complexity & Palate Depth

From the first pour, this Barolo unveils an intoxicating bouquet of menthol, wild berries, pressed rose petals, and grilled herbs, layered with subtle hints of forest floor. On the palate, it delivers a full-bodied, savory experience with juicy Marasca cherry, blood orange, and licorice, culminating in a lingering espresso finish. The tannins are firm yet polished, providing excellent structure without overwhelming the fruit purity. Critics praise its balance of acidity and cool minerality, which harmonize beautifully with the dark fruit tones.

Aging Potential & Cellar Selection

Designed for long-term aging, this wine is expected to evolve gracefully from 2025 to 2032, offering increasing complexity over time. Its dense, silky texture—described as “transparent and appealing” by James Suckling—ensures it will reward patience. Whether enjoyed now or cellared for a decade, it promises a memorable drinking experience.

Perfect for Discerning Palates

Ideal for special occasions or as a collector’s gem, this Barolo stands out for its purity of Nebbiolo character, vibrant acidity, and elegant finish. Pair it with hearty dishes like braised meats, truffle-infused pastas, or aged cheeses to elevate your dining experience.
