2021 Luciano Sandrone Barbera d'Alba

Other Reviews....
The 2021 Barbera d'Alba is packed with succulent dark cherry, plum, spice, new leather and licorice. This supple, juicy Barbera is a fine choice for drinking now and over the next handful of years. Drink: 2023-2028.

This is very attractive with fresh dark and blue fruit together with hints of violets, dried citrus peel and cocoa, following through a medium-bodied, textured and sleek palate with crunchy acidity and vibrant juiciness to the fruit. Drink now.

Starting with thick concentration and inky darkness, the Luciano Sandrone 2021 Barbera d'Alba has cooked fruit aromas and some savory tones too, such as leather, spice and a hint of dusty licorice root. The style is big, and this wine is conventional with big juicy sensations. It's all very elaborate for a Barbera d'Alba, but we are talking about a vintage that naturally delivers extra concentration. Production is 25,000 bottles. Drink: 2024-2030.

Bright and fruity, this red is nevertheless taut, with black cherry, blackberry and earth flavors bound by grainy tannins. Loosens up a little by the end of the lingering finish. Drink now through 2027.
