Wine Advocate, 97 Points 

"Aleste is a contraction of the names Alessia and Stefano, grandchildren of the late Luciano Sandrone. With fruit from Cannubi Boschis, the 2019 Barolo Aleste shows important richness and structure. This is the proverbial Barolo with a capital B. It reveals thick layers of dark fruit, cherry and spice. It shows sweet tannins and impactful texture. When tasting at the winery, Le Vigne is usually served first, and Aleste comes after that. Both wines promise a very long aging window." 

Wine Enthusiast, 97 Points 

"The nose on the Aleste is beguiling and seductive with aromas of wild red and black fruits, clove, anise, rose and wild herbs. Though generous, the wine is holding back just a tad, asking you to cellar it. Black cherries, oolong tea, wildflowers and sandalwood all show up on the beautifully crafted palate." 

Vinous, 97 Points 

"The 2019 Barolo Aleste is another stellar wine from Sandrone. Like Le Vigne, the Aleste is a tightly wound ball of energy. Dark cherry, mocha, plum, licorice and lavender all race across the palate. This racy, but youthfully austere Barolo has a ton to offer. There's more density and a darker profile than in the Le Vigne, sort of like a soloist to Le Vigne's orchestra." 

Wine Spectator, 96 Points 

"This red leans more toward black cherry, blackberry and violet flavors, with tar, tea and autumn wood underbrush accents lurking underneath. Firm, dense and persists on the sinewy finish. Combines elegance with power, but needs time. Best from 2027 through 2048." 

James Suckling, 95 Points 

"An integrated and well-crafted Barolo with flowers and lemon peel to the cherry and strawberry aromas. Medium-bodied with chewy tannins and a linear drive throughout. Tight and muscular." 

Alcohol: 14.5%
