Luciano Sandrone Barolo Le Vigne (2015)

Zusätzliche Information

Vinee Beschreibung und Bewertung

95+/100 vinous

'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 this super-expressive Barolo. Medium in body, with radiant fruit and brisk tannins, the 2015 Le Vigne is a terrific example of the vintage at its best. Today, the 2015 is decidedly reticent. I have seen Le Vigne open up 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 sources are Baudana, Villero, Vignane and Merli.'

'Luciano Sandrone expected this would be a beautiful year for Nebbiolo, with fruit showing the qualities of an important wine all throughout the growing season and right up to harvest. And yes, the 2015 Barolo le Vigne did turn out to be a great vintage, with a full aromatic array of perfumed rose, lavender and violet. For all of its generosity and expressiveness, with just a beautiful bouquet that sings out a seductive mezzo-soprano aria, be forewarned that in the mouth this is followed by rigidity and nervousness. That explosive bouquet might mislead you into thinking 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, and it's not a big surprise that this edition of le Vigne turned out to be as classic and as good as it is. It should get even better with time.'

'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.'
