The 2010 Barolo Le Vigne is brilliant. Focused and explosive in its aromatic intensity, the 2010 is fresh and wonderfully nuanced in the glass. It is also aging at a slower rate than the Cannubi Boschis. At nearly ten years of age, the 2010 is fresh, vibrant and so full of energy. It is also every bit as memorable as it was on release. (AG)

The 2010 Barolo Le Vigne is composed from an assembly of fruit sourced from the townships of Barolo, Novello and Serralunga d’Alba. It reflects Barolo tradition in which, years ago, this noble wine was made from a wide assembly of fruit instead of single cru sites (as is the custom today). Bright cherry fruit, blackberry and creme de cassis segue to profound layers of licorice, spice, cola and anisette. It feels strong and tonic in the mouth with a pleasingly velveteen texture and a fresh dose of zesty acidity. Drink: 2017-2030. (ML)

Wine Spectator

Review Date: 12/2014
A rich version, boasting floral, macerated cherry, plum, menthol and tobacco flavors. The tannins are dense, but this remains vibrant and elegant overall, finishing with spice and earth notes. Exhibits excellent harmony and length. Best from 2018 through 2035. 1,450 cases made. (BS)

Notes

Offered here in magnum, Sandrone's 2010 Le Vigne combines Nebbiolo from Vignane in Barolo, Merli in Novello and Baudana in Serralunga d'Alba. This was the first vintage to include fruit from Baudana. The vineyards are handled separately before the final blend. Sandrone's 2010 archive records fermentation with indigenous yeasts in open stainless-steel tanks, followed by malolactic conversion and maturation in 500-liter French oak tonneaux.
