Barolo Cannubi Boschis Sandrone 1997
Barolo Cannubi Boschis Sandrone 1997 is a dry, full-bodied red from Nebbiolo (Barolo, Italy), in the full, structured reds style. Tannins are very firm and acidity very high; oak influence is little. Those scales describe the wine when young; this is a 29-year-old bottle and its tannin and oak will have softened. Good with beef stew, mushroom risotto, steak, lamb.

Luciano Sandrone Barolo Cannubi Boschis 1997 is a Nebbiolo from one of the most prestigious sites in the village of Barolo. The 1997 vintage was a hot and early year, producing wines with opulent fruit and high alcohol that were initially very approachable. This double magnum format has been essential in maintaining the wine`s balance, as it has aged more slowly than standard bottles. It offers a decadent profile of plum jam, roses, leather and sweet tobacco. The tannins are remarkably silky and the finish is long, showcasing the sensuality and power that made the 1997 vintage famous in Piedmont.
