The Barolo DOCG "Le Vigne Sibi et Paucis" 2012 by Sandrone Luciano is a masterful wine that captures the essence of the Langhe and the soul of Nebbiolo. With an alcohol content of 14.5%, this wine offers a rich and complex sensory experience, characteristic of great Barolo vintages. On the nose, it opens with a captivating bouquet of rose petals, ripe raspberry, and a subtle hint of menthol, followed by nuances of licorice and sweet spices that reflect the nobility of the terroir.
On the palate, the structure is powerful yet impeccably balanced, with well-defined tannins that envelop the mouth without being overwhelming. The long, persistent finish reveals notes of violet and a delicate minerality, typical of the older vineyards. Its complexity makes it perfect for pairing with rich dishes such as Barolo braised beef or roasted lamb, though it also pairs wonderfully with aged cheeses. A wine for contemplation, ideal for savoring on special occasions or in the company of close friends, to explore the richness and depth of a great Barolo. A tribute to Sandrone's savoir-faire and the winemaking culture of Piedmont.
