Only a several hundred cases made from this small 4 hectare estate.
Ripe cherry, red plum, blackberry, violet, and a thread of spice and earth — juicy and generous on the palate, with Barbera's signature bright acidity carrying the fruit long and clean, supple tannins, and a fresh mineral finish. The 2023 Rosanna Sandri "Baccara" is organically farmed Barbera d'Alba from low-yield vines in San Rocco Seno d'Elvio in the Barbaresco zone — fermented gently to preserve fruit brightness, aged in concrete, unfined, unfiltered, minimal sulfur at bottling. Same family, same 4-hectare estate, same philosophy as the Botero: no tractors, no chemicals, no shortcuts, and a handful of bottles that are starting to earn serious attention. Immediately approachable and built to give pleasure — the kind of wine that makes you wonder why you ever spent more.
