This is a delicious wine from Luciano Sandrone. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2014. This is a very strong set of entry-level wines from Luciano Sandrone, one of Piedmont’s top growers. In a region full of outspoken, colorful producers, Sandrone remains soft-spoken and rather shy, but his wines speak for themselves rather eloquently. Importer: Vintus LLC, Pleasantville, NJ tel.
