About The Wine

Sandrone appears to have topped what he achieved in 1982, 1985, 1988, and 1989 with a nearly perfect 1990 Barolo from the Cannubi Boschis vineyard. There are only 1,600 cases of this blockbuster Barolo for the world. It is an amazingly rich, superbly balanced, profound Barolo that is crammed with flavor. It exhibits a hauntingly intense bouquet of roses, black-cherries, new leather, and a touch of tar. Great richness and extraordinary precision are its hallmarks. This massive wine is a riveting tasting and drinking experience. The 1990 Cannubi Boschis should peak in 7-10 years and last for at least 20 or more.

Single owner. Perfect bottle. Perfect wine.

100% Nebbiolo from the Cannubi Boschis cru, from the legendary 1990 vintage.

Three decades in, this is Barolo at full maturity: tar, dried rose, sour cherry, leather, and white truffle over a savory, earthy core. The once-formidable tannins have melted into silk, and the high Nebbiolo acidity still drives a long, perfumed finish.
