All the sites that contribute to Le Vigne are markedly different from each other in terms of altitude, soil and exposure, and together provide a broad overview of Barolo in a given year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwenty-twenty-one was the second year to include Nebbiolo from Sandrone’s new holding in Le Coste di Monforte. Sandrone has been farming this Monforte d’Alba site since 2000. From this vintage, Le Vigne includes fruit from five communes: Barolo, Serralunga d’Alba, Novello, Castiglione Falletto and Monforte d’Alba. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike Aleste, approximately 20-30% of the grapes fermented as whole-bunches, with a very high percentage of whole berries in the destemmed portion (thanks to a state-of-the-art destemmer). The macerations were managed very carefully (now a little longer than in the past but very gentle), with Luca Sandrone aiming to capture as much fruit purity as possible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"h-secondary\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-product-reviews-slider=\"\" class=\"product__reviews-slideshow\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"review-card\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"review-card__content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"review-card__note\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e“I always have special affection for this wine, and between the Aleste and Le Vigne, this is my preferred bottle. I love the brightness and focus of the fruit, the pretty complexity and the rich mouthfeel. The fruit aromas are laced with licorice, cola and spice. The high notes are quite apparent in this excellent vintage. I came back to taste this wine 24 hours later and found those notes to be just as intense and beautiful.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"review-card__note\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"review-card__author\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e97+ points, Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"review-card__author\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"review-card\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"review-card__content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"review-card__note\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e“\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e“The 2021 Barolo Le Vigne is a classy, seamless wine. Crushed flowers, bright red-toned fruit, blood orange, mint, spice and kirsch open gracefully in the glass. This is such an elegant, sophisticated Barolo. The recent shift of sites to Serralunga and Monforte, along with longer ferments, has transformed the Le Vigne into a darker, more somber wine, while the inclusion of stems in some lots adds aromatic dimension. Le Vigne is a wine in movement.\u003c\/span\u003e”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"review-card__note\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"review-card__author\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97+ points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"review-card__author\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"review-card__author\"\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSnapshot\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eRegion: Barolo, Piedmont\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eCountry: Italy\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eVintage: 2021\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eAlcohol: 14.5%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eSize: 750ml\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eClosure: Cork under seal\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-start para-style-body\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eVariety: Nebbiolo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Luciano Sandrone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48404858929401,"sku":null,"price":312.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2650\/0856\/files\/BottleImage_f97bbf92-1530-457b-aed6-b96357222202.jpg?v=1778823597","url":"https:\/\/actofwine.com.au\/products\/2021-luciano-sandrone-barolo-le-vigne","provider":"Act of Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
