Sandrone Le Vigne Barolo, Piedmont 2017 Bottle:1 Roasted langoustinesThe multi vineyard blend of Le Vigne gives a complex, expressive wine in a difficult vintage like 2017 the balance afforded by multiple sites allows a more balanced result in the bottle. Mint, balsamic and macerated cherries emerge from the glass. The wine is lean and muscular, long and straight focused, tight, precise. On the palate, pepper, spices, mint, hints of coffee and cola are wrapped around a core of lovely raspberry and red cherry fruit.
