Tasting Notes

Luciano Sandrone Le Vigne Barolo 2019 Magnum represents an exceptional expression of the Barolo appellation, sourced from a premium private cellar that embodies both tradition and meticulous craftsmanship. The 2019 vintage stands out as a cooler year compared to 2018, offering a remarkable balance that surpasses 2017, combined with a structure evocative of the celebrated 2013 and 2016 vintages.

This Barolo enchants with pure precision wrapped in perfume, delivering a harmonious blend of sensuality and refined elegance. The wine’s poised character showcases the best of Nebbiolo grapes, featuring bright aromatics layered with complex notes of red cherry, rose petals, tar, and subtle earthy undertones. Its well-integrated tannins and vibrant acidity promise excellent aging potential, making it a cellar-worthy treasure.

Crafted in the prestigious Piedmont region, renowned for producing some of Italy’s finest Barolos, the 2019 vintage benefits from ideal climatic conditions that preserved freshness while enhancing depth and complexity. Luciano Sandrone’s dedication to site selection and sustainable viticulture shines through in this magnum bottling, offering enhanced maturation and a fuller expression of the terroir.

This wine perfectly pairs with rich Italian cuisine such as truffle-infused dishes, braised meats, and aged cheeses, but it also rewards patient cellaring, evolving beautifully over the next decade. Experience the balance and finesse of one of Piedmont’s most sought-after producers with the 2019 Le Vigne Barolo Magnum — a sophisticated choice for collectors and connoisseurs who appreciate authenticity and nuanced flavor profiles.

Critic Scores

Rose, menthol, star anise and baking spice are just some of the aromas that appear on the gorgeous Sandrone Barolo Le Vigne 2019. Focused, elegant and savory, the vibrant palate offers juicy red cherry, spiced cranberry, crushed mint and ground clove before a licorice close. A backbone of fine-grained tannins provide support while bright acidity keeps it impeccably balanced and loaded with energy and tension. What a stunner.

Very aromatic with hibiscus, crab apple, orange blossom, and ripe strawberry on the nose. Full-bodied, very layered and powerful, yet it remains very fine textured with an intense finish. Slightly more structured than before. Perhaps due to the addition of wines from a new vineyard?

The 2019 Barolo Le Vigne is a historic blend of fruit from Baudana in Serralunga d'Alba, Villero in Castiglione Falletto, Vignane in Barolo and Merli in Novello. This year, a fifth site was added to the final blend. It is the Le Coste MGA in Barolo with south-facing exposures and 45-year-old vines in a two-hectare parcel. The backbone of this wine is Baudana, and Merli adds freshness. The wine needs more time in bottle, but already it proves generous and bold with dark fruit, spice and crushed mineral

The 2019 Barolo Le Vigne is pure and total seduction. Kirsch, sweet pipe tobacco, mint, cedar, dried herbs and orange peel all grace a Le Vigne built on mid-weight structure and energy. There is a feeling of youthful classicism and austerity that is so beguiling. Readers should plan on being patient, though. The 2019 won't be ready to drink anytime soon, but there is enough fruit to make me think it will be superb, in time.

Vinification & Cultivation

Crafted only for our premium wines

Vineyard Cultivation

Luciano Sandrone operates from the heart of Barolo DOCG, Piedmont, where the Le Vigne vineyard represents classic Barolo terroir with the region's distinctive sandy-clay soils. The producer has built its reputation over decades on meticulous site management, balancing the region's traditional approaches with careful viticulture. The 2019 growing season in Piedmont was favourable, with moderate temperatures during the critical ripening phase and good autumn conditions allowing Nebbiolo to achieve full phenolic maturity. Sandrone's vineyards benefit from diurnal temperature variation typical of the zone, which develops the complexity expected in premium Barolo.

Vinification

The 2019 Le Vigne was harvested at optimal ripeness, with fruit carefully destemmed and crushed before fermentation in temperature-controlled tanks with indigenous yeasts. Extended maceration on skins developed colour and tannin structure characteristic of this cuvée. Following primary fermentation, the wine underwent malolactic conversion before ageing for an extended period in large oak and smaller French vessels, allowing gradual integration and complexity development. This traditional Barolo approach emphasises the wine's structure and capacity for evolution.

About this Wine

Piedmont

Piedmont (Piemonte in Italian) is probably the finest wine region in all of Italy, and has laid claim to this since Roman times. It has a continental climate influenced by the surrounding Alps and Ligurian Apennines, and is located in the north-west of Italy, bordering both France and Switzerland.

Piedmont has only 1% of the total vineyards of Bordeaux and 15% that of Burgundy. So while a top Chateaux may produce upwards of 35,000 cases a year, leading Barolo producers will often make only 800 cases. More than half of its vineyards are registered with DOC designations and many are in the Apennine or Alpine foothills, from 300-600m above sea level. Most of the wines are produced by smaller family estates rather than larger holdings.

Piedmont has 46 different DOC and four DOCG regions, and produces the largest number of well known, world-recognized, prize-winning wines. The most famous would have to be Barolo or Barbaresco, whose power comes from the Nebbiolo grape variety. The most widely planted red variety is Barbera although Dolcetto, Muscat, Shiraz and Bonarda are also produced.

The white variety most well known is Moscato, which is often made into frizzante (bubbly) wines known as Asti. Cortese is made into the popular Gavi wines, and smaller amounts of Chardonnay and high quality Sparkling are also produced in the far north of Piedmont.
