Sandrone Barolo Le Vigne 2006 750ml
Varietal: Nebbiolo
Region: Piemonte
Sandrone's largest production Barolo, Le Vigne, is made from a blend of fruit from four vineyards, each of which brings its own contribution. Complex with a spicy nose and sweet, herby notes, the wine is structured and bold. The blending of the different Nebbiolo helps generate a complex wine with fruity notes that is round and harmonious on the palate.
About the Producer
Luciano Sandrone is often labeled a modernist because he opts for shorter macerations, the use of some new oak, and shorter aging requirements for his wines. However, that is only half the equation. Here, the craftsman respects tradition and only incorporates aspects of modern technology and technique to showcase the utmost potential of his precious grapes. His magical juice does not rely on 225-liter barriques for style (he prefers the 500-liter French oak barrels). Luciano’s training comes from a traditional background at the historic Marchesi di Barolo estate. It is here that he earned and saved enough to
purchase his own tiny estate. Now his boutique-style winery with choice plot locations produces some of the richest, most polished Barolos in the region. |
