Barolo Le Vigne 2008

Luciano Sandrone (hentet 7. okt. 2026): The Sandrone Barolo Le Vigne 2008 is the result of a year of good climatic conditions, especially without extremes of heat. Fragrant components of both floral and fruity character prevail. The color is an intense and impeccable garnet color with just-emerging orange reflections that recall the sky as the sun sets. In the nose, an ethereal character of fruity notes of small- berry jam, cherry preserved in sprits, and dried apricot prevails; a ccompanied by floral sensations such as dried roses. Then spices such as pepper and vanilla emerge, followed by hints of dried mushrooms, leather and white truffles. The flavor is complex, the balanced alcohol gives warmth and fullness of structure, while fresh acidity and smooth tannin show a velvety character. Together they harmonize into an intriguing sapidity, perhaps of a delicate nerviness, but of great charm. It is a vibrant Barolo, still young, and will continue to improve in the bottle.
