Vinified from selected, south to south-west-facing plots in the heart of the Langhe, this Barbera exemplifies Sandrone's understanding of balance between varietal expression and elegance. The 2022 vintage, characterised by warm, dry summer months and cool nights, yielded fully ripe harvestwith concentrated aromas and fresh acidity. The short maturation in used wooden barrels rounds off the texture without overpowering the varietal freshness.

A dense ruby colour with a violet rim in the glass. The bouquet opens with ripe black cherry, plum and a hint of blackberry, accompanied by violets, cedar and a hint of sweet tobacco. Juicy on the palate, with ripe, clear fruit and a lively, well-integrated acidity that gives the wine an elegant tension. A Barbera that combines power and precision – full of character, authentic and with the subtle restraint that makes Luciano Sandrone's style unmistakable. SUPERIORE.DE

"Intense purple-red colour with a dark core. Inviting, fruit-accentuated bouquet, blackberries and blueberries, with a hint of violets and some cloves. Very soft and generous on the palate, firm tannins and a lingering, juicy finish." Falstaff

"An opulent style that combines a velvety texture with rich flavours of plum, black cherry, boysenberry and vanilla. Harmonious and lively, with a light touch of tannins on the finish." Wine Spectator

"The 2022 Barbera d'Alba is packed with ripe red cherry and plum fruit. Mocha, spice, cedar and leather add layers of nuance. This juicy, forward Barbera is an absolute delight." Vinous
