This stunning wine will be released in September 2017, having benefitted beautifully from an additional ten years of bottle aging at the winery. The 2007 Barolo Le Vigne Sibi et Paucis shows richness and density. It carries its weight with the utmost care, grace and the lightest of footsteps. About one-quarter of the fruit in this vintage was sourced from the Monforte d'Alba village. Le Vigne always represents a careful selection of fruit from various points. The bouquet here is compact and forthcoming with dark fruit and savory spice. The mouthfeel is alive and vibrant. This wine will tick all those hedonistic boxes in your brain.

The 2007 Barolo Le Vigne presents a beguiling combination of explosive, ripe fruit and finessed silky tannins that make it a thrilling wine to taste, even at this stage in its development. Small red berries, minerals, crushed flowers, vanillin and sweet spices are woven together in a fabric of undescribable elegance. The French oak has never been better balanced, while the vibrant, crystalline finish leaves a lasting impression. The 2007 Le Vigne has all the potential to develop into a spectacular wine?actually, it already is. This is a totally stunning bottle of Barolo. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2027.
