Luciano Sandrone Le Vigne Nebbiolo Barolo 2009
Region: Barolo
Sub Region: Barolo
Variety: Nebbiolo
Country: italy
Vintage: 2009
The Wine
Translated as The Vineyards, this multi vineyard blend hails from the villages of: Barolo: Vignane Monforte d'Alba: Ceretta and Conterni.
Dark red garnet. Big, forward aromas, with deep and ripe fruit, hints of vanilla and wood. Expressive in the nose, excellent black cherries and blackberries. On the palate, it possesses great balance, length and minerality, with complex balsamic notes, mountain herbs and spices and the tannins are beginning to smooth out and integrate, undoubtedly from the higher-altitude site Conterni.
Great fruit, intense tannins and good acidity – it is all there, requiring only patience to knit together.
Cellared Says
Personal Collection. Perfect condition. I always rather liked the 2009’s, the tannins always had that extra power and grip that ‘classic’ Barolo is known for. Age is a friend to Barolo, and nothing could show this better than Le Vigne.
Reviews
Now with the distance of time, the 2009 harvest was perhaps not as elegant (generally speaking) as the 2008, but mercifully cooler than the 2007. A ten-year late release, the 2009 Barolo Le Vigne Sibi et Paucis offers plenty of dense, black fruit, along with succulence and plumpness. This vintage of Le Vigne sourced fruit from Monforte d’Alba, but this is no longer the case in the vintage to follow. The tannic structure is there, and this wine seems to be held together with a magical string. You'll find warm, earthy tones covering the whole mouth evenly. As elegant as this Barolo is, I'd be tempted to pair its dark fruit and earthy notes with a simple homemade pasta with sausage, onion and sautéed chanterelles or any other home-cooked dish that is near to your heart.
