2014 Luciano Sandrone Barolo Le Vigne Sibi et Paucis

The 2014 Luciano Sandrone Barolo Le Vigne Sibi et Paucis is a rare late-release Barolo crafted from 100% Nebbiolo, sourced from four renowned vineyard sites across Barolo, Castiglione Falletto, Novello and Serralunga d'Alba. After its original release, the wine remained in Luciano Sandrone's cellar for an additional six years before being offered as "Sibi et Paucis", allowing further bottle development under ideal conditions. The nose is beautifully expressive, revealing dried rose, wild strawberry, macerated raspberry and subtle notes of cinnamon, star anise and earthy spice.

On the palate, it is elegant and harmonious, with fine, mature tannins and vibrant acidity supporting flavours of red berries, dried cherry, savoury herbs and delicate spice. Extended bottle ageing has softened the structure while preserving freshness, leading to a long, refined finish with impressive balance and complexity.

Ben's Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an exceptional Barolo for collectors and enthusiasts seeking a mature Nebbiolo with remarkable finesse and depth. Pair it with braised beef, roast duck, truffle pasta, wild mushroom risotto or aged Parmigiano Reggiano. Drinking beautifully now, it will continue to evolve gracefully over the next 10–15 years under proper cellaring conditions.
