Dolcetto D'Alba 2024

Luciano Sandrone’s Dolcetto d’Alba is a tribute to the deepest roots of the Langhe. While Barolo is the wine of grand occasions, Dolcetto is the soul of the daily table—the faithful companion that has defined life on the hills to the right of the Tanaro River for centuries. Sandrone cultivates this variety across eleven different vineyards located in the highest reaches of the Barolo zone, between 350 and 400 meters above sea level, where the limestone-rich "white soils" impart a unique freshness and minerality.

The production philosophy aims to preserve the immediate fragrance of the fruit: spontaneous fermentation in open-top tanks and aging exclusively in stainless steel. Grapes from historic crus such as Ravera in Novello, Castelletto in Monforte, and Rivassi in Barolo are vinified separately and then masterfully blended. The result is a wine with a brilliant ruby color and an explosive bouquet of red fruits and cherry. It is a young, crisp, and authoritative red, capable of elevating both everyday meals and festive celebrations.
