Luciano Sandrone - Barolo Le Vigne 2011 (750ml)
Luciano Sandrone is one of the iconic producers in Barolo, and his is both a well known and extraordinary story. He started to learn viticulture at the age of 14 or 15, and after years of work as a cellarman he depleted his life savings and purchased his first vineyard on the Cannubi hill in 1977, though he could only manage his land on the weekends while he continued to work. Sandrone’s wines are sometimes described as straddling the modern and traditional styles in the region: elegant, attractive and easy to appreciate right from their first years in bottle, but with no less power and structure than traditional Barolos. This 2011 still needs some time to come together but the expressive fruit of the vintage is front and center. It has big forward aromas on the nose and, on the palate, great balance, length and minerality, with complex balsamic notes, mountain herbs and spices.
