Barbera d'Alba

Sandrone Barolo Vite Talin 2019
Barolo
November 18, 2025 - Vite Talin is Sandrone's rarest Barolo, born from a single anomalous Nebbiolo vine Luciano discovered in 1987 in a vineyard leased from an elderly farmer known as "Talin."

Fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged three years in French oak before another three in bottle, it debuts a full six years after harvest — rich, structured, and built for long cellaring.
Wine Spectator -August 06, 2025 "This red reveals the austerity of the vintage, with its linear profile and daunting tannins setting the stage for plum, black cherry, graphite and tar flavors. Dense and with a…

Far Mountain Bresa Chardonnay 2022
