Le Vigneⓡ Barolo

1998 Barolo Nebbiolo

Sandrone Le Vigne® Barolo is a remarkable expression of the Nebbiolo varietal, showcasing the rich heritage of the Barolo region. This full-bodied red wine captivates with its deep garnet hue and offers an intricate bouquet of dark fruit, floral notes, and earthy undertones. Upon tasting, one is greeted by a harmonious balance of pronounced acidity and firm tannins that lend structure and longevity, making it a formidable contender in the realm of fine wines. The fruit intensity is prominent, with flavors of black cherry, plum, and hints of spice that linger on the palate. As a dry wine, it gracefully complements a variety of hearty dishes, reflecting the robust character that Barolo wines are renowned for. The 1998 vintage stands out, revealing the wine's potential to evolve beautifully over time, making it a true gem for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

While France takes the crown for the most famous wines styles and grape varieties, Italy is where wine was first perfected. The ancient Greeks called it Oenotria—"land of the vines"—and the Roman Empire advanced grape growing and winemaking to a level of quality we still enjoy today. But behind Italy's best-known wines, such as Chianti, Barolo and prosecco, there's an almost endless diversity of delights awaiting the intrepid explorer. The key to understanding Italian wine is regionality and (of course) food. From the aromatic and sparkling whites of the north to Sicily's rich and spicy reds, Italy offers wine lovers a lifetime of gastronomic treats.
