Luciano Sandrone Barolo Cannubi Boschis Sibi et Paucis 1.5L MAGNUM 2012

Luciano Sandrone Barolo Cannubi Boschis Sibi et Paucis in magnum is a cellar-aged re-release of the estate’s single-cru Barolo, held back ten years before going on sale.

Cannubi Boschis is a subzone at the northern end of the Cannubi hill in the commune of Barolo, directly across from the Sandrone cellars, and Luciano Sandrone was the first to put its name on a label, in 1985. The family farms three plots there totalling 1.9 hectares, on calcareous clay with some sand and with south and south-easterly exposures. Sibi et Paucis — roughly, for the few and the favoured — is the estate’s museum release programme: ten to fifteen per cent of each year’s Nebbiolo production is held back in the underground cellars under optimal conditions and re-released closer to maturity, ten years after the vintage in the case of the Barolos. Each bottle carries a stamp on the label distinguishing it from the original release. The winemaking is unchanged: wild-yeast fermentation, an extended maceration, ageing in mostly used 500-litre French oak casks and bottling without filtration.

Ready to drink but in no hurry, and the magnum will hold it for years yet; serve at 16–18°C with braised beef, truffled pasta or aged Parmigiano.
