Luciano Sandrone Barbera d’Alba 2008

Luciano Sandrone Barbera d’Alba 2008

The color is dark and slightly purple. Powerful aromas of spicy black berries, dry fruits, earth, flowers and dust. Tasty and spicy with flavors of black licorice, black pepper, black berries, ripe blue grapes and floral notes. Silky on the palate, the wine is also structured feeling young and showing that it can handle few more years of cellaring. Very good+ (90)
