Sandrone Le Vigne Barolo 2020
The Sandrone Barolo Le Vigne is a masterpiece of balance and complexity, reaffirming Luciano Sandrone's status among the greatest names in Piedmont. Sourced from some of the region's finest vineyards, Le Vigne is a flagship wine renowned for its harmonious structure, refined tannins, and exceptional longevity. This is an essential acquisition for any serious collector or Barolo enthusiast. Unlike single-vineyard Barolo, Le Vigne (The Vines) is a traditional cru blend, marrying the distinct terroirs of multiple elite villages: Barolo (Vignane), Castiglione Falletto (Villero), Novello (Merli), and Serralunga d'Alba (Baudana). This classic approach yields a wine of incredible complexity, capturing the full spectrum of the Barolo appellation in a single bottle. A complex and intense bouquet revealing classic notes of crushed roses, violet, liquorice, and tar, underpinned by ripe black cherry and sweet baking spice. The palate is powerful and full-bodied, yet exquisitely elegant. It features fine-grained, silky tannins - a hallmark of Sandrone's modern style - that frame dark fruit and a distinctive mineral tension. The finish is sustained and lifted by Nebbiolo's bracing acidity. Built for the long haul, ready to evolve over the next 20 to 30 years.
