Barolo Le Vigne 2016

Luciano Sandrone (hentet 7. okt. 2026): The Barolo Le Vigne has always been a wine of great structure, depth and longevity. The 2016 growing season, with its particular weather pattern, brings out its bright personality in a most striking way. Now, after ten years of ageing, the Le Vigne 2016 has yet to reveal its true potential, although its sensuousness and linearity are already clearly perceivable. A few more years in the cellar are sure to divulge its greatness. The bouquet gradually affirms itself in the glass, mixing scents of wild cherries and liquorice with underbrush and pronounced aromas of violet and rose. The flavour is dominated by sweet, voluptuous yet rigorous tannins which are yet to find their optimal balance, as well as prodigious red fruits and distinct acidity, which transpire through the wine’s powerful structure. The finale seems endless. In short, a Barolo that holds the promise of future grandeur. Ratings for the vintage 2016 Jeb Dunnuck 94 points 97 points 2 bicchieri rossi 98 points 98 points
