Azienda Agricola Luciano Sandrone
Is a wine producer in Piedmont, Italy, particularly known for its red wines made from the Nebbiolo grape. The flagship wine is the rich, ripe, complex Cannubi Boschis Barolo, which brought Sandrone firmly into the spotlight when the 1989 and 1990 vintages gained 97- and 100-point ratings from Robert Parker, respectively.

The estate farms 27 hectares (67 acres) of vines in total. Sandrone owns around 75 percent of this land, with the remainder under long-term contract. This includes land in some of Barolo's most prominent cru vineyards, including in Merli, Conterni and Cerretta. The most important of these is the Cannubi vineyard, from which the grapes for the Cannubi Boschis Barolo are sourced. Another top wine, the Barolo La Vigne, comes from a handful of these vineyards, and the estate also makes a single-vineyard Nebbiolo d'Alba called Valmaggiore, from a warm, steep, sandy hillside site of the same name in the Roero district. On top of this, Sandrone makes a Barbera d'Alba and a Dolcetto d'Alba.
The Barolos are aged for two years in 900-liter tonneaux, and 18 months in bottle before release. The Valmaggiore cuvée spends a year aging in old wood, while the Barbera is aged in 50 percent new oak. The Dolcetto sees no oak at all.
