Sandrone's 2015 Barolo Aleste is a total stunner. Succulent dark cherry plum mocha lavender and spice are all beautifully framed by ripe silky tannins. Creamy resonant and super-expressive the 2015 Aleste hits all the right notes. Next to Le Vigne Aleste is more typical of what readers might expect from a warm year. It is a gorgeous Barolo from the Sandrone family.
Rose and juniper aromas lead off settling this red into pure flavors of floral cherry strawberry sun-warmed hay licorice and mineral. Linear and firm yet classy and elegant this tightens up on the finish. Best from 2023 through 2043.
Aromas of dried flowers and sweet berries follow through to a full body very firm and chewy tannins and a long flavorful finish. Reserved and tight. Try in 2024.
