Luciano Sandrone bought his first plot on the Cannubi hill in 1977 and made his first wine the following year in his parents' garage. In 1987 he noticed a single vine among the rows of an old vineyard he rented from an elderly grower called Natale, known locally as Talin, carrying small, straggly bunches of unusually small, dark berries. Cuttings were propagated, and DNA work by Professor Schneider's team confirmed in 2017 that it was Nebbiolo. The wine comes from three vineyards in the commune of Barolo planted with that selection: Le Coste, Drucà and Rivassi. Grapes are destemmed, given a warm pre-fermentation maceration without oxygen and fermented in open wooden casks, then aged two years in French oak tonneaux, one in large casks and three in bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Barolo for the cellar rather than the short term, and one that repays a long decant if opened young. Serve at 16-18°C with braised beef cheek, mushroom risotto or aged Piedmontese cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Every effort is made to ensure the current vintage is accurate; however, variations can occur.
