The wines of Luciano Sandrone are often compared with Burgundy because of their lift, elegance and silky texture coupled with polished tannins. In a relatively short period of time, Sandrone has grown to be one of the more respected producers in Piedmont. Having started in 1978, he now produces roughly 8,000 cases. He is certainly a “modernist” but has refined his ability to reflect site while implementing winemaking techniques like new oak and shorter fermentations. However, he also employs many “traditional” techniques like open top fermentations, even though they ferment longer than many traditional wineries.
Region/Subregion
Italy
Italy is perhaps the most unique major wine producing country, with hundreds of native varietals and a diverse range of growing areas due to its North to South orientation. As frustrating as it can be to try to learn about Italian wines they are so regionally independent that each major region almost feels like it’s own country. However the wines speak of place, and are intrinsically tied to the regional foods and specialties more so than really any other European country.
