Luciano has been keeping back a small amount of his Barolo Aleste for a few years now, allowing it to continue maturing in the bottle in his cellar. The result is called "Sibi et Paucis", an impressive and rare opportunity to experience the marvellous ageing potential of his great Baroli. SUPERIORE.DE

"This broad version shows ripe aromas and flavours of plum, cherry, leather and woody undergrowth. Firm and dense, with a balance that shifts towards the tannins, but long and satisfying." Wine Spectator

"The Barolo Aleste Sibi et Paucis 2014 is just reaching its early stage of maturity. Bright acids and savoury nuances give the 2014 a remarkable freshness. Medium-bodied and beautifully moulded, the 2014 offers good dynamism in the concentrated style of the vintage. The 2014 is well matured." Vinous

"The 2014 Barolo Aleste Sibi et Paucis from Luciano Sandrone is a controversial vintage that exceeded initial expectations. The tertiary notes are developed in this one, but they work well over candied cherry, earthy liquorice root and orange peel. There's a hint of undergrowth, some savoury spice and cured leather. There are only 1,500 bottles." Wine Advocate

"Garnet red colour with very lively ruby red. Aromas of plums, pitted cherries, leather, tar, earthy minerality and liquorice. Some hints of rhubarb. Full-bodied with grainy tannins of good ripeness and extraction, great fruit concentration, melting acidity and a savoury and long finish. Amazing example of the 2014 vintage." James Suckling
