A fiercely tannic red highlighted by black cherry, blackberry, plum, tar, eucalyptus and amaro aromas and flavors. Delivers a granular texture along with generous concentrated fruit, yet the tannins become better integrated on the finish.

This wine is made with a new clone of Nebbiolo that was identified by the Sandrone family. The 2017 Barolo Vite Talin now occupies the top position in the family portfolio. It represents 30 years of work by Luciano Sandrone, who started his career as cellar master at Marchesi di Barolo. I am told that Nebbiolo is recognized by seven DNA indicators, and Talin (the clone is named after the old farmer who found the first vine) has all seven. Today, the Sandrone family has propagated the clone and is cleaning it from viruses to see how it behaves in the future. Alessia Sandrone is in charge of this process. They notice that berry size is half that of normal Nebbiolo, and the wine is consequently more concentrated and dense. This hot vintage delivers lots of extra power and fruit weight with pressed blackberry, earth, tobacco, clay, autumnal leaf, iodine and candied orange.

A bright, well-defined red, featuring red and black cherry, black currant, eucalyptus and mineral aromas and flavors. This is supported by a matrix of dense yet refined tannins, which yield to the ripe fruit in the end. Feels almost weightless, yet packs plenty of flavors and structure. Best from 2025 through 2047. 208 cases made, 25 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add

This is a wine I have jealously followed since its birth. The Luciano Sandrone 2016 Barolo Vite Talin is another superstar. This is a complete wine, with depth, intensity and a fully generous and embracing personality. It's like a warm hug. The tannins are tight and the wine needs more time to fully soften. At this young point in its life, it offers plenty of dark primary fruit, spice and black licorice.

A dense, muscular red, saturated with plum, cherry, licorice, menthol and iron flavors. The burly tannins gain the upper hand on the finish for now, yet this shows balance and the freshness and structure should develop beautifully. Best from 2025 through 2045. 20 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
