Luciano Sandrone
Le Vigne Barolo Nebbiolo
Perhaps not ready as a quality Barolo at only 10 years old but as Luciano passed away earlier this year it is an opportunity to toast a seminal figure in Barolo. Aromas of red and black fruits along with iron, plum skins, with touches of mint, cherry and tar. A powerful red finishing with fine powdery dry tannins. Drink the remaining 2 bottles in the rest of this decade.
