 WINE SPECTATOR 95 POINTS - "An extraordinary white, with details of beeswax, honeysuckle and lanolin giving way to succulent white peach, nectarine and lemon curd flavors on a plush, juicy frame. Shows details of marmalade and candied ginger, with hints of litsea oil and lemon balm that linger on the long, expressive finish. Drink now through 2035."

The Luciano Sandrone 2020 Barolo Le Vigne is open-knit in texture with sun-drenched aromas. You get ripe fruit with black cherry, blackcurrant, forest floor and wild mushroom. With time in the glass, the wine reveals floral definition, grilled tarragon herb and a heavier note of wheat biscuit. Starting with the 2019 vintage, Le Vigne also includes Le Coste di Monforte fruit along with fruit from Baudana in Serralunga d'Alba, Villero in Castiglione Falletto, Vignane in Barolo and Merli in Novello. Drink from 2027.

Now this is spectacular. As good as Sandrone’s 2020 wines are, this is just superlative. Deep red. Elegant, expressive and deep aromas of red rose, red cherry, minerals, sandalwood, lavender and ink. Then very long, clean and mineral, at once very powerful but refined, boasting remarkable purity of the concentrated blue and red fruit and floral flavours. Finishes with a steely-like personality and a rigid mouthfeel that requires time to round out fully, but this is crammed with fruit. Knockout Barolo that is very, very young but has incredible potential to turn out to be a really memorable wine. Drinking window: 2028-2044.
