The 2013 Barolo Aleste is a wine of striking purity and nuance. It is also one of the most finessed, vivid young Barolos I have ever tasted from Sandrone. The translucence of Nebbiolo comes through loud and clear. Freshly cut flowers, mint and finely cut fruit are some of the signatures. This wine has developed beautifully in recent vintages as the oak influence is less than it was just a few years ago. Beams of tannin and bright, salivating acidity add finesse to this translucent, exceptional Barolo. Aleste is the new name Sandrone is using for the Barolo formerly known as Cannubi Boschis.

This wine is currently firing on all its cilinders, reaching the age of showing of lime a first draft NBA player. Smooth with some rough sides, honest but still hiding the awesome potential. Love it!

Before Aleste there was Cannubi Boschis, and Aleste is rocking! Is smell aromas of raspberry, five spice tones, with chocolate mint, some summer flowers and berries overripe in the afternoon hours in the forest. There is also some espresso in the nose, overall this is a great wine to cover part two of the wine study night
