Power and poise define the 2021 Luciano Sandrone Barolo Aleste, with concentrated black cherry and plum layered over licorice, dark spice and crushed stone, all driven by a vivid line of acidity. The tannins are firm yet polished, giving impressive depth and tension that promise a long evolution while already hinting at floral and citrusy top notes that add refinement. This is a particularly intense, tightly focused Aleste, built for decades in the cellar.
