Luciano Sandrone Barolo Le Vigne 2021
Ancient art. Barolo Le Vigne represents our interpretation of the tradition of the Langhe and Barolo: that of the ancient and skillful art of blending Nebbiolo from several vineyards. We have taken up this historical custom working only with indigenous yeasts and keeping the grapes separate until the final assembly and blending, instead of mixing them during the fermentation phase.
A perfect diagonal. We meticulously chose four vineyards to highlight the characteristics of the Barolo area. The vineyards of Baudana in Serralunga d'Alba, Villero in Castiglione Falletto, Vignane in Barolo and Merli in Novello draw a perfect diagonal through the area, each of which includes different terrains: light and sandy, more compact and deep, at various altitudes and exposures.
In every vintage it is a wine that can age effortlessly. Typically, it gives its greatest expression after years of patience. We know that only with slow and silent evolution does Nebbiolo reveal its best character. Thus, our Barolo Le Vigne is part of the "sibi et paucis" project.
Recommended drinking time: 2030 - 2055
As with its brother, the Le Vigne shows a deeply perfumed nose, of dark fruits and floral elements, with mineral and spice elements.
On the palate, the wine is deeply flavored, with red and black fruits, mineral and rose petals, with delicate wood and spice flavors. The structure is impressive, with layers of sweet tannins giving shape and definition to the fruit, but it is never overbearing or heavy; the Le Vigne 2021 retains its lightness and elegance even with its power and structure.
