Luciano Sandrone Barolo Le Vigne 2016
100/100 PP
"I absolutely adore this wine on every emotional and intellectual level. I can still taste it today, weeks after my first sampling. The Luciano Sandrone 2016 Barolo Le Vigne is a stirring and profound expression that pulls on your heartstrings. I found it to be unforgettable, quite literally, inspiring one of those celebrated "wow" moments that we wine lovers so desperately seek in bottle after bottle. Le Vigne is a clever blend of fruit from Baudana in Serralunga d'Alba (offering the power), Villero in Castiglione Falletto (shaping the precision), Vignane in Barolo (adding to the purity of the aromas) and Merli in Novello (that helps to flesh out the fruit). This intersection of various vineyards spanning the appellation creates a pyramid of perfection and beauty. The wine shows large construction, but that fruit weight is balanced against the vivid cherry, spice, aniseed and campfire ash that gently lift from the bouquet."

"The 2016 Barolo Le Vigne is brilliant and explosive in the glass, with tons of brightness, energy and tension. Classically austere, the 2016 is going to take a few years to be at its best, and yet the wine is so arrestingly beautiful today. A mix of freshly cut and dried flowers, mint and pine add an intriguing upper register. In 2016, Le Vigne is finely chiseled and sculpted from start to finish. Bright saline notes add a closing kick of freshness.!

"Die Ikone. Von Beginn an, seit 1985, glaubte Luciano an die Eigenständigkeit und Güte des Weinbergs Cannubi. Nur durch einen konsequent separaten Ausbau konnte er sein ganzes Potenzial zum Ausdruck bringen. Dieser Wein verkörpert den ausgeprägten Charakter und die Eleganz eines einmaligen Weinberges mitten im Herzen des Barolo-Gebietes. Lese um Lese entsteht hier unsere Ikone, die seit der ersten Abfüllung in den 80er Jahre die internationale Anerkennung zahlreicher Weinliebhaber erfährt."
