Boschis is a particular subzone near the northern end within the Cannubi hill. It’s a plot that is synonymous with this grower—located as it is, directly across from the Sandrone cellars. This Cru, of which Sandrone farms 1.9-hectares of 37-year-old vines, has a particularly good exposure to the south and south-east in a small amphitheatre or conca, that helps hold warmth in the early morning. Its soils are calcareous (chalky) clay with some sand, and there is consequently excellent drainage. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cannubi slope is complex, with soil variation, many different aspects and variation in altitude. “It looks like a sleeping dragon,” says Barbara Sandrone, reflecting the way the ridge of Cannubi snakes across the landscape. Highlighting the uniqueness of the wines of Cannubi Boschis, as compared to the rest of the Cannubi hill, Alessandro Masnaghetti [L’Enciclopedia delle Grandi Vigne del Barolo] writes, “The wines, in general, have good body, much elegance, and more polished tannins than other Cannubi wines”. First made in 1985, this was one of the pioneering single-cru wines of the region, helping to awaken the wine world to the potential of Barolo’s varied and complex terroirs. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAside from a little bit longer on skins, the winemaking is essentially identical to Le Vigne: destemming with a very high percentage of whole berries and a smaller percentage of whole bunches; wild yeast fermentation; aging in mostly used, 500-litre French oak casks (only 20% new); and bottling without filtration after 18 months. In 2017 the Sandrone team picked their Cannubi Boschis in a single day due to the evenness of ripening, and because they were seeking to capture us much freshness as possible. This summation shines through in the final wine: the 2017 is a magnificent Cannubi, deep and structured yet with waves of opulent fruit to go with the ample tannins. It feels classical even if it has the generosity of the vintage. Yes, it can be opened early with pleasure (especially if decanted) yet, again I have the impression that this will make very old bones and will certainly be even better with a decade or more in the cellar. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Aromas of menthol, pressed rose, wild berry and grilled herb are front and center in this stunning wine along with a whiff of forest floor.

To this end, all the sites that contribute to Le Vigne are markedly different in terms of altitude, exposure and soil. Together they help provide a broad overview of Barolo in any given year. Le Vigne includes fruit from four communes: Barolo (Vignane), Serralunga (Baudana), Novello (Merli) and Castiglione Falletto—in the renowned Villero Cru. Sandrone has a long-term lease of this latter site (perhaps best-known for Bruno Giacosa’s Villero bottlings between 1978 and 1996). The vines here average around 30 years of age, and Sandrone credits the Villero fruit as adding depth and structure to the blend. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the 2019 vintage, Sandrone has added a fifth commune to Le Vigne’s bow with the addition of a wonderful source in Le Coste di Monforte in Monforte d’Alba (more on this story in a few years). Having such blending options, it is hardly a wonder that Le Vigne is today garnering similar or higher scores than the Aleste (Cannubi Boschis). It’s not a competition of course—rather, the two wines offer unique and equally impressive expressions of Barolo. They are the two faces of the Sandrone coin. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegarding the winemaking, the fruit was mostly destemmed with a very high percentage of whole berries and a quarter whole-bunch. Wild yeast fermentation began in tank and following 10 to 30 days of maceration (depending on the parcel) the maturation occurred in mostly used, 500-litre French oak casks (only 20% new) for 18 months.

This has all the flesh and fruit you could hope for, but it is also classical with loads of complexity and powdery tannins.
