aged all in foudre

mineral-accented aromas of ripe black and blue fruits

there is a minor sensation of green flavors

An elegant

saline and balanced finish where the citrus character telegraphed by the nose reappears on the explosive finale

Luciano Sandrone, Barolo Vigne other_regions aged all in foudreLuciano Sandrone and his daughter Barbara tell me that the 2014 harvest needs explaining. Many are quick to dismiss it given the difficulties of the growing season that saw abundant rain, hail and bombe d'acqua, or "water bombs," which are a dangerous phenomenon with intense rainfall in a very small radius. But hard work does pay off. The Sandrone family employed 38 people for farming, when the average harvest requires only 22 pairs of vineyard hands.
