"I absolutely adore this wine" | 100-point Luciano Sandrone Barolo Le Vigne 2016 Large Formats

Awarded a perfect score by Monica Larner (Wine Advocate), who described it as “I absolutely adore this wine on every emotional and intellectual level.”

 

As you will discover in this offer, the comparative value for these large formats is truly amazing!

 

Last year, the world mourned the loss of a visionary with the unfortunate passing of Luciano Sandrone. Born into a family of carpenters, Sandrone's allergy to sawdust and an innate interest in agriculture nudged him toward winemaking. He initially worked at Borgogno when he was 17 and later joined Marchesi di Barolo after completing his military service. These invaluable experiences gave him the confidence to embark on his own winemaking journey in 1978 with just 2.5 hectares of vines in the Barolo cru of Cannubi, producing a mere 1,500 bottles.

 

Sandrone subsequently gained fame as part of the Barolo boys and became well-known for embracing innovation in winemaking while paradoxically staying attached to many expressions of tradition. Today, the estate produces three Barolos – Le Vigne, Aleste, and Vite Talin.

 

The year 2016 will be remembered as one of the greatest vintages for Barolo in the decade, and it has rewarded Sandrone estate's globally renowned Barolos. Today, we present the gem of the portfolio, the Luciano Sandrone Barolo Le Vigne. Awarded a perfect score, Le Vigne is the highest-rated wine among the three famous wines, surpassing Barolo Aleste and Barolo Vite Talin.

 

The 2016 Barolo Le Vigne and the 2013 Barolo Vite Talin are the only two cuvées that have been awarded a 100-point score by Wine Advocate. Here comes the interesting part – there are currently no magnum bottles available for the 2013 Barolo Vite Talin. A competitive offer for a regular bottle will cost you HK$4,970. This means a magnum bottle of the 2013 Barolo Vite Talin will cost you at least HK$9,940 (not to mention the usual magnum premium). Please take a look at the following table, and the value of our offer today should shock you

 

We have just a handful of these large-format bottles available. Considering their comparative and commemorative value, one should act swiftly as they are bound to disappear soon.

Wine Advocate (100)

I absolutely adore this wine on every emotional and intellectual level. I can still taste it today, weeks after my first sampling. The Luciano Sandrone 2016 Barolo Le Vigne is a stirring and profound expression that pulls on your heartstrings. I found it to be unforgettable, quite literally, inspiring one of those celebrated "wow" moments that we wine lovers so desperately seek in bottle after bottle. Le Vigne is a clever blend of fruit from Baudana in Serralunga d'Alba (offering the power), Villero in Castiglione Falletto (shaping the precision), Vignane in Barolo (adding to the purity of the aromas) and Merli in Novello (that helps to flesh out the fruit). This intersection of various vineyards spanning the appellation creates a pyramid of perfection and beauty. The wine shows large construction, but that fruit weight is balanced against the vivid cherry, spice, aniseed and campfire ash that gently lift from the bouquet.
