Luciano Sandrone Vite Talin Barolo DOCG 2017 gift box

The wine and its aromas.

The Barolo Talin 2017 shows both the power and character of this unique mutated Nebbiolo as well as the particular character of the 2017 vintage.

The nose explodes with floral aromas, iron filings and mineral notes, a bit closed on the fruit side but expansive and complex. In the vineyard, the role of the viticulturist, with his capacity to read the plants and imagine their future, has once more turned out to be crucial.

Careful vineyard and canopy management avoided damage to the delicate fruit: by the time we began the harvest, the latter was perfectly balanced.

On the palate, the wine shows the ripe, forward fruit and drinkability of this vintage, with herbal notes of mint and thyme giving shape and complexity to the mouthfeel.

Present and future. Today Vite Talin 2017 shows a surprising generosity: its structure, fruit elements and floral notes express themselves harmoniously, giving life to a wine which promises greatness, right from the start, and gives us much hope for its evolution. Its long and soft finish, with the typical notes of minerals and graphite, confirms the unique identity and style of Sandrone wines.
