The 2022 Dolcetto encloses all the characteristics of its vintage, harnessing the strength of the vines. In the glass, the wine appears ruby red and compact, with violet hues. Its bouquet reveals aromas of plum, blackberry and marasca cherry, framed by delicate spicy notes.

The mouthfeel is sweet and voluptuous. One notices the wine’s great structure and ripe tannins which together create a feeling of volume and density. The wine shows good acidity, which gives it a hint of freshness. Its finale caresses the palate with soft almond notes.

Producer Information

Unbound by tradition yet mindful of the practices of their ancestors, this family-owned winery has gradually reached the pinnacle of producers in the Barolo region in a relatively short period of time. The story begins in 1977 with Sandrone’s founder, the late Luciano Sandrone, who bought a parcel of less than a hectare in Cannubi Boschis, the undisputed cradle of Barolo. Over the next 40 years the winery would go on to acquire plots in Barolo and Roero, with the producer now spanning across 27 hectares.

Luciano’s daughter Barbara and brother Luca now sit at the helm of the company, with his wife Mariuccia. The third generation, in the form of Alessia, is very much involved in the day-to-day running of the winery. The wines of Sandrone are expressions of elegance and finesse and speak of the land they come from. Sustainability and heritage are taken very seriously, and the family’s ultimate goal is to achieve the highest quality possible for each of the six wines, while showing the terroir of the different vineyards.
