The history of Vite Talin goes back to 1987, when Luciano Sandrone found a vine in one of his vineyards whose grapes were just half the size of the other plants around it. Luciano decided to grow several shoots from this plant and distributed them across three of his vineyards. Today, now in its fourth vintage, Vite Talin is still one of the most spectacular reds in the entire Barolo appellation, with a total production of just 2,000 bottles.

Vite Talin is almost indescribable, it is a paragon of the opposites of transparency and power - and an unprecedented expression of a Barolo that cannot be compared with the usual standards of the region. Its complexity, the never-ending aftertaste and the linear intensity and extreme finesse at all levels require a very intensive study of this wine, which is ultimately rewarded in the most excellent way.

Intense ruby red with garnet-red reflections. On the nose, red berries, spices and a cornucopia of other flavours that only reveal themselves with further oxygenation. Fleshy, juicy, powerful and extremely precise and structured on the palate. At this still very young age, one can only imagine what it will become in further years of ageing in the bottle. A monument of a wine - even today - the tannins are soft, complex and captivating. This is the archetype of a Nebbiolo, which impressively demonstrates to every friend of the grape variety that it is not necessarily only the location, but also the nature of the grape and the subsequent intelligent ageing that makes it a true red and unforgettable royal wine of Italy. SUPERIORE.DE

"Rich ruby colour with a fine garnet sheen. Interwoven nose of fine tea, some incense, then lots of raspberry, some graphite and liquorice, the earthy notes dominate. Full-bodied and very dense on the palate, multi-layered tannins, gripping, but also with the necessary finesse, spans a wide arc, very long finish, balsamic." Falstaff

"Deep ruby red with orange-coloured reflections. Powerful, cherry-coloured bouquet with notes of white pepper, eucalyptus and salty hints. Smooth, polished and juicy on the palate with super-fine, long tannins that come in waves." Jancis Robinson

"The flavours of dark fruits, mushrooms, tar and asphalt come through clearly. It is medium-bodied with integrated and polished tannins and a savoury and juicy finish. It is already open and very drinkable, but it will age well." James Suckling

"Grown at the top of the Cannubi Boschis vineyard, this wine exudes aromas of black cherries, crushed raspberries, black tea and a blend of spices in the glass. On the palate, it is powerful, polished and well-crafted. The generous fruit shines through, while savoury herbs and compelling hints of earth shine through, giving an indication of how the wine will age." Wine Enthusiast

"A rich style for the vintage, this dense red shows aromas and flavours of cherries, raspberries, earth, leather and wild herbs. Ripe and savoury, with a vibrant structure and a broad spectrum of tannins on the energetic finish. Still needs time." Wine Spectator

"The Barolo Vite Talin 2018 is a sexy, opulent Barolo. Juicy dark fruits, cloves, gravel, mocha and incense take centre stage. This dense yet medium-bodied Barolo will drink well with minimal cellaring time." Vinous

"The 2018 Barolo Vite Talin is a bigger Barolo with darker fruit, ample oak shadings and generous concentration. Overall, it is a wine of considerable fruit weight, and this richness is reflected in the grippy nature of the young tannins and the very plump and primary nature of the fruit. There is a note of dried Mediterranean herbs or something like a dried chilli pepper. You need time to tame this imperious tannin. Production is limited to 2,500 bottles." Wine Advocate
