Le Cecche Barolo Sorano 2018
93 POINT Barolo, from a single, totally revered Cru, OVER 50% OFF, and just barely enough for y’all! Go, go, gooooo!
Really structured and deceptively powerful – loaded with all sorts of pretty red cherries, plus minty eucalyptus, cedar, and fresh walnuts, with tart, pervasive acidity that pulls this onward impressively. Elegant and nimble – this is a success that ranks among one of the top 2018 Barolos we’ve tasted – at a price that undoubtedly makes this the BEST bargain Barolo you'd likely find…ANYWHERE!
Y’all Piemonte Purists have been crushing on Le Cecche’s fantastic portfolio of wines for years – ever since we discovered them and started bringing them across the pond to share some time ago. We look forward to visiting and tasting each year – and DANG! If these don’t just keep getting better, and better!
Le Cecche is the product of the brilliant Jan de Bruyne and his wife, Marchioness Paola Invrea. He’s a retired Belgian doctor, she’s Italian royalty (who just happens to make the most delicious breadsticks!), and they’ve been at the helm of Le Cecche since 2001. They started small, revamping a little vineyard around their home in the postcard hamlet of Diano d’Alba. But as the quality has risen, the mad passion intensified…and new, world-class vineyards have been brought into the fold. The Sorano Cru is in the iconic Serralunga part of Barolo, with a southwesterly exposed hillside of 10 million-year-old sandstone, with more clay than limestone helping to craft soft and silky smooth expressions of nebbiolo. 93 POINTS, ONLY THIRTY-NINE DOLLARS to score this EPIC bottle!
