The 2014 Sandrone Barolo Le Vigne “Sibi et Paucis” is a rare, late-release expression of this multi-cru Barolo, showing the elegant maturity and layered complexity that only time can deliver. Le Vigne is sourced from several top sites across the Barolo zone—typically including Villero (Castiglione Falletto), Baudana (Serralunga), Merli (Novello), and Vignane (Barolo)—carefully blended to reflect balance, harmony, and the broader identity of the region. The 2014 vintage was cool and challenging, but in the hands of a producer like Sandrone, it yielded wines of tension, aromatic precision, and classical structure. Now aged for nearly a decade, this Sibi et Paucis release reveals a beautifully evolved bouquet of dried cherry, rose petals, orange peel, tea leaf, sweet spice, and forest floor, with hints of tobacco and mineral.

Luciano Sandrone is often labeled a modernist because he opts for shorter macerations, the use of some new oak, and shorter aging requirements for his wines. However, that is only half the equation. Here, the craftsman respects tradition and only incorporates aspects of modern technology and technique to showcase the utmost potential of his precious grapes. His magical juice does not rely on 225-liter barriques for style (he prefers the 500-liter French oak barrels). Luciano’s training comes from a traditional background at the historic Marchesi di Barolo estate. It is here that he earned and saved enough to purchase his own tiny estate. Now his boutique-style winery with choice plot locations produces some of the richest, most polished Barolos in the region.
