Barolo Le Vigne Sandrone 2017

A lean and focused Barolo from Luciano Sandrone. The multi-vineyard blend of Le Vigne gives a complex, expressive wine in the 2017 vintage, with balance afforded by multiple sites. Mint, balsamic and macerated cherries emerge from the glass. On the palate, pepper, spices, mint, hints of coffee and cola are wrapped around a core of raspberry and red cherry fruit. It is muscular but balanced by fresh acidity, with a smooth and lasting finish of fruit and graphite.
