About the wine

A traditional Barolo from old vines in Perno, with depth, richness and structure. Native-yeast fermentation and extended maturation in large Slavonian oak allow the wine to develop at its own pace.

About Elio Sandri

Perched atop some of the highest hills in the region in a community east of Barolo, in the hamlet of Monforte d’Alba, resides Cascina Disa Elio Sandri. Every part of Sandri’s winemaking is slow and gentle, allowing for very low levels of sulphur and no other additions. The results are exquisite, ultra-traditional terroir-driven wines of unbridled elegance and poise with a seemingly endless lifespan. Very long maceration, deep ethereal aromas and intensity on the palate.
