Luciano Sandrone expected this would be a beautiful year for Nebbiolo, with fruit showing the qualities of an important wine all throughout thegrowing season and right up to harvest. And yes, the 2015 Barolo leVigne did turn out to be a great vintage, with a full aromatic array ofperfumed rose, lavender and violet. For all of its generosity andexpressiveness, with just a beautiful bouquet that sings out a seductivemezzo-soprano aria, be forewarned that in the mouth this is followed byrigidity and nervousness. That explosive bouquet might mislead you intothinking this is a rather evolved wine, but you certainly feel its youth on the palate. To be frank, this was an easy year to make wine, andit's not a big surprise that this edition of le Vigne turned out to beas classic and as good as it is. It should get even better with time.
The 2015 Barolo Le Vigne is a wine of pure and extreme grace. Silky and nuanced on the palate, with tremendous character, the 2015 is all class.Rose petal, mint and sweet red berry fruit are laced together in thissuper-expressive Barolo. Medium in body, with radiant fruit and brisktannins, the 2015 Le Vigne is a terrific example of the vintage at itsbest. Today, the 2015 is decidedly reticent. I have seen Le Vigne openup with time in bottle. I imagine that will be the case here as well,although the wine is quite closed down at this stage. Vineyard sourcesare Baudana, Villero, Vignane and Merli.
A tight and focused Le Vigne with strawberry, orange-peel and floral aromas and hints of hazelnuts. Not giving it all now. Full-bodied, veryintense and focused. Extremely long and polished, tannic finish. Drinkfrom 2023.
24 Monate in französischen 500-Liter-Eichenholzfässern gereift.
Ein Barolo von atemberaubender, finessenreicher Textur und einer erstklassigen Eleganz. Die Trauben stammen von den höher gelegenen Top-Lagen namens Merli, Vignane, Villero and Baudana.
1978 begann Luciano Sandrone kleinere Mengen an Trauben selber zu verarbeiten. Dank seinem Erfolg konnte er Jahr für Jahr die Produktion ausbauen. 1990 wagte sich Luciano Sandrone in die Selbständigkeit. Seine Weine stehen für einen auf Frucht und Eleganz bauenden Weinstil und gehören heute zur absoluten Spitze der italienischen Weinproduktion.
