Luciano Sandrone Barolo Le Vigne 1999 (1500ml)

意大利資深飲家 抱青 : ”Luciano Sandrone 的 Barolo 是很難抗拒的，有人說他屬于「現代派」，但我覺得他不容易標簽。我曾經說他信奉的是 perfection ，而完美是 timeless 的，無法簡單的用現代或傳統的標簽來區分。個人意見是， Luciano Sandrone 的風格最像 Angelo Gaja 。他們的作品，每件都像精雕細琢的玉石，像工筆畫，從不會失準，雖然驚喜相對少。

94 pts Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate (182), April 2009:

The 2005 Barolo Le Vigne opens with fresh, high-toned aromas that meld into a core of perfumed red fruits. There is notable vibrancy to the fruit, and although the 2005 is a relatively small-scaled vintage for this wine, the balance is exceptional. The Le Vigne has more than enough fruit to follow through all the way to the close, where notes of raspberry jam offer a final burst of intensity. Le Vigne is made from a number of parcels in Vignane (Barolo), Conterni and Ceretta (Monforte) and Merli (Novello). In 2005 the harvest took place in the first two weeks of October. The wines were vinified separately, then racked into 500-liter barrels. The final blend was assembled in the summer of 2006. Every year I taste through the various parcels separately and every year I am amazed by the way the final blend transcends the quality of the individual wines. Simply put, Le Vigne is a gem of a wine from Luciano Sandrone. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2021.

Luciano Sandrone先生在1978年創立了以自己名字為名的酒莊，在成立酒莊之前，他是Marchesi di Barolo酒莊的酒窖總管，而且在自己酒莊成立之後，他還是兼任這份工作一直到1990年為止。Luciano Sandrone有著謙虛且開放的胸襟，在葡萄種植與釀酒方面，不但遵循Barolo的優良傳統，同時也師法波爾多與布根地的長處，雖然因為他的縮短浸皮與培醞時間並使用部份比例新橡木桶等做法，一般會將其歸納在現代改革派，但長時間掌管歷史名莊Marchesi di Barolo的歷練，也讓他的酒款處處表現出Barolo產區極致的風土美味。經驗豐富且非常認真的他，十分追求完美，精雕細琢出一款款優雅、精彩、容易親近卻又不失傳統Barolo紮實層次的美味佳釀，無怪乎自第一個年份面世，馬上受到市場的熱烈迴響與眾多酒迷的喜愛，被公認為最能融合傳統與現代兩者優點的一流釀酒師。
