- TASTING NOTE: "The 2019 Barolo Le Vigne is pure and total seduction. Kirsch, sweet pipe tobacco, mint, cedar, dried herbs and orange peel all grace a Le Vigne built on mid-weight structure and energy. There is a feeling of youthful classicism and austerity that is so beguiling. Readers should plan on being patient, though. The 2019 won’t be ready to drink anytime soon, but there is enough fruit to make me think it will be superb, in time.” 97 Points - Antonio Galloni
- ABOUT THE WINE: Le Vigne, meaning "the vineyard," is a blend of grapes from several small parcels within the Barolo AOC. These include Baudana in Serralunga d'Alba, Villero in Castiglione Falletto, Vignane in Barolo, Merli in Novello, and the newest addition, Le Coste di Monforte in Monforte d'Alba, which contributes with 2 hectares of 45-year-old vines. Each vineyard has its own unique soil composition, aspect, and altitude, with altitude playing an essential role in cooling, which helps balance acidity and fruitiness in Barolo. Around 20-30% of the grapes are whole bunches, and fermentation occurs spontaneously in tanks. Skin contact lasts from 10 days to a month. The wine then matures in 500-litre mainly old French oak casks for a period of 20-22 months. It is bottled unfiltered, staying true to Sandrone's winemaking philosophy.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: The winemaking tradition of the Sandrone family began in the 1970s. They currently cultivate 27 hectares across the Langhe and Roero regions. Every stage of production is carried out with a commitment to sustainability and the utmost respect for the environment, starting with meticulous vineyard design to minimize the need for chemicals. Their production philosophy views winemaking and winegrowing as the sum of many elements, none of which are predominant: their pursuit is to provide the world with a contemporary version of classic and iconic wines from the legendary Piemonte region.
