Sandrone Barolo Le Vigne 2020

Description

Ancient art. Barolo LE VIGNE interprets the tradition of the Langhe and Barolo by handing down the ancient and skilful art of blending grapes from several vineyards. We have taken up this historical custom by working only with indigenous yeasts and keeping separated the grapes until blending, instead of blending them already during the fermentation.

Symphony of a territory. Barolo LE VIGNE in fact encapsulates the characteristics of each vineyard: all different but each peculiar. At its birth, thanks to the art of blending, the vineyards of Vignane in Barolo and Merli in Novello were joined. In 2010, the project was expanded to include Baudana in Serralunga d'Alba, which was followed in 2011 by Villero in Castiglione Falletto. The 2019 vintage sees LE VIGNE completed with Le Coste of Monforte in Monforte d'Alba. Different exposures, locations, genetic heritage, altitudes and soil types, the five vineyards that today make up Barolo LE VIGNE are united through the art of blending, giving shape to a single voice capable of narrating the entire Barolo territory. Every year a discovery. Harvested, vinified and aged separately, we combine in the blend the batches capable express the uniqueness of the vineyards and enhance the particularities of each vintage.

Only after years of slow and silent evolution do we know that the Nebbiolo gives its best characters. Our Barolo LE VIGNE is one of the protagonists of the ‘sibi et paucis’ project.

Perfume

The extraordinary 2020 vintage produced a wine that combines power and delicacy. Lively aromas of black fruits, roses and violets emerge on the nose, with hints of cola nut and graphite.

Taste

On the palate, aromas of berries and ripe tannins prevail. The finish is generous and exhilarating. Drinking one might wonder if this wine is already ready, but at this stage of its maturation it already reveals itself to be surprisingly drinkable and balanced. Indeed, careful tasting will leave no doubt as to the importance of its structure. The tannins appear so ripe and silky that they almost seem to vanish in the wine, but they exist and will accompany it for several more decades of cellar ageing.
