Description
Barolo 2020Le Vigne, L. Sandrone
ocb
Bottle (6)
A continuation of The Pinnacle Collection, this release represents an additional tranche from a past single-owner Signature Sale. Assembled over decades by an industry insider with unparalleled access to the world’s top estates, every bottle was acquired upon release and stored in ideal, professional conditions. Defined by its flawless provenance and uncompromising curation, The Pinnacle Collection stands as a testament to connoisseurship at the highest level—a truly exceptional opportunity for collectors to acquire wines of unmatched pedigree and perfection.
"The Luciano Sandrone 2020 Barolo Le Vigne is open-knit in texture with sun-drenched aromas. You get ripe fruit with black cherry, blackcurrant, forest floor and wild mushroom. With time in the glass, the wine reveals floral definition, grilled tarragon herb and a heavier note of wheat biscuit. Starting with the 2019 vintage, Le Vigne also includes Le Coste di Monforte fruit along with fruit from Baudana in Serralunga d'Alba, Villero in Castiglione Falletto, Vignane in Barolo and Merli in Novello." (95 pts. Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, April 2024)
"The 2020 Barolo Le Vigne is graced with brilliant aromatic intensity and plenty of depth. Crushed rose petal, mint, blood orange, spice, lavender and pomegranate all meld together. Le Vigne has a bit more aromatic vibrancy and verve than the Aleste, but shares a general feeling of openness with its sibling." (94 pts. Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Nov. 2023)
"Lustrous deep ruby. Seductive nose of red fruit with a note of oak perfectly aligned with the fruit. Succulent and at the same time youthful and fresh. Firm tannins giving the fruit its spine. Long and succulent, but the tannins need more time to integrate." (17++ pts. Walter Speller, Jancis Robinson, Nov. 2023)
Estimate: $350 - $450.
Shipping Restriction: Please note that we cannot ship to addresses in Mississippi, so please bid accordingly.

Auction Type
Showcase Wine Auctions: These auctions are presented only online and bidding is only taken through our website. There are two phases of bidding during this type of auction: 1) Normal bidding: Bids are taken up until 6:00 PM CT the night the auction closes. 2) 5 Minute Ending: On a lot-by-lot basis, starting at 6:00 PM CT, any person who has bid on the lot previously may continue to bid on that lot until there are no more bids for 5 minutes. For example, if you bid on a lot during Normal Bidding, you could participate during Extended Bidding for that lot, but not on lots you did not bid on previously. If a bid was placed at 6:03, the new end time for that lot would become 6:08. If no other bids were placed before 6:08, the lot would close. If you are the high bidder on a lot, changing your bid will not extend the bidding during the 5 Minute Ending phase (only a bid from another bidder will extend bidding). If you are the only bidder at 6 PM, you will automatically win the lot at 6:05. Important: After normal bidding ends, you must be signed-on to the Heritage site to see the bidding option on lots where you qualify for extended bidding and you must be on an individual lot page to reflect the accurate time remaining for that particular lot.
