2020 Elio Sandri, Barolo Riserva, Perno Vigna Disa

Elio Sandri produces this wine at Cascina Disa, an estate in the Perno cru of Monforte d'Alba that his family has managed since 1965. The vineyard features vines aged between 15 and 60 years planted in marl soils, and the wine is made from 100% Nebbiolo. In the glass, it reveals nuanced aromas of red cherry, dried rose petals, and subtle balsamic earthiness, defined by a structured, silky texture. The 2020 vintage provided a temperate growing season without extreme heat, resulting in a balanced expression with approachable, refined tannins. This wine offers an excellent opportunity to experience the traditional character of Monforte d'Alba, arriving with enough poise to enjoy now while retaining the tension to evolve further in the cellar.
