2019 Barolo, Le Vigne, Luciano Sandrone
~ (97) Antonio Galloni , Vinous 11-1-2022
Very aromatic with hibiscus, crab apple, orange blossom, and ripe strawberry on the nose. Full-bodied, very layered and powerful, yet it remains very fine textured with an intense finish. Slightly more structured than before. Perhaps due to the addition of wines from a new vineyard? Try after 2027. ~ (97) James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 6-19-2023
Still a little closed but with a clear mineral, savoury undertow and just a touch of oak. Very youthful fruit pushed by plenty of lively acidity and lots of coating tannins, but the balance is perfectly hit. Closes up fast. ~ (17) Walter Speller, JancisRobinson.com 11-29-2022
A tightly wound red, with floral, cherry, iron, earth and underbrush aromas and flavors. Beefy, with the vintage's characteristic austerity and a strong grip on the finish. The tannins lend a compact feel in the end, yet this stretches out on the finish, with a core of pure fruit. Best from 2027 through 2047. 1,500 cases made, 350 cases imported. ~ (95) Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator 12-31-2023
The 2019 Barolo Le Vigne is a historic blend of fruit from Baudana in Serralunga d'Alba, Villero in Castiglione Falletto, Vignane in Barolo and Merli in Novello. This year, a fifth site was added to the final blend. It is the Le Coste MGA in Barolo with south-facing exposures and 45-year-old vines in a two-hectare parcel. The backbone of this wine is Baudana, and Merli adds freshness. The wine needs more time in bottle, but already it proves generous and bold with dark fruit, spice and crushed mineral. ~ (97) Monica Larner, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 8-24-2023
