It’s hard to beat the quality achieved by this spectacular wine. Luciano Sandrone’s Barolo from the Cannubi Boschis cru is creamy, rich, opulent and sophisticated.

One of the most exciting names in Barolo, with fruit from one of the most celebrated vineyard crus, this vintage of Cannubi Boschis is a real treasure. Cellar the wine 10 years or more to achieve balance between its firm tannins and bright acidity. The wine already shows incredibly complex aromas of wild berry fruit, truffle and cola and those tones will surely…

Luciano Sandrone 2004 Cannubi Boschis Nebbiolo (Barolo)
- Cellar Selection
- $195
The Cannubi Boschis cru (also known as Monghisolfo) is known for the excellent quality of its fruit. This expression is particularly austere and elegant and would fit appropriately in a gentleman’s smoking room or other such formal context. The aromas recall old leather, cigar box, dried rose petal and dried figs. Very interesting, very tight and firm.

Luciano Sandrone 1998 Cannubi Boschis Nebbiolo (Barolo)
- Cellar Selection
- $125
Expensive, but worth every penny to experience such a big, lush, juicy mouthful of Barolo. Hints of dark-roasted coffee and wisps of maple syrup wrap around flavors of strawberries and tar, but this wine is all about the seduction of texture—velvety and supple, it leaves you wanting more and more.

Luciano Sandrone 2004 Le Vigne Nebbiolo (Barolo)
- $185
Le Vigne Barolo offers beautiful clarity and purity in the form of black licorice, cherry cola, spice and black fruit. There’s a smoky or ashy note in the background and the wine feels balanced and integral on the tongue thanks to its tight tannins and gritty texture. Cellar for five plus years and drink with lamb cassoulet.

Luciano Sandrone 2003 Dolcetto (Dolcetto d'Alba)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
The 2003 Dolcettos have enough boldly flavored fruit to hang with your best blue-cheese burgers, enough spice to stand up to jerk chicken—and enough tannin to cut through the fattiest slab of ribs. What sets Sandrone's version apart is the sense of elegance that suggests it would be just as home on a white tablecloth as a rustic wooden table. A Marc de Grazia…
