Luciano Sandrone, Barolo Cannubi Boschis, 1996
A bottle from the legendary 1996 vintage, when Luciano Sandrone was still hand-bottling Cannubi Boschis under that name — years before the 2013 rebrand to Aleste. Sandrone built his reputation on this single cru, perched on Barolo's most storied hillside, and 1996 was a classical structured year that rewards patience above all. Nearly three decades on, this is fully resolved Barolo: the tannins long since melted into the perfume, the fruit gone from red to dried-rose and tobacco. A museum-piece chance to taste a modernist icon at peak maturity, from a label that no longer exists. Drink soon — wines this old have a window, not an upside.
