The 2017 Barolo Vite Talin is a total stunner. Dark, rich and sensual, the Vite Talin captures all of the natural richness of the heavily virused, low-yielding clone the Sandrone family propagated in their parcels within Le Coste and Rivasi, both in Barolo. Super-ripe dark cherry, plum, spice, cedar, tobacco and kirsch are all dialed up in this explosive, heady Barolo. The 2017 is just next-level wine. Superb.

A fiercely tannic red highlighted by black cherry, blackberry, plum, tar, eucalyptus and amaro aromas and flavors. Delivers a granular texture along with generous concentrated fruit, yet the tannins become better integrated on the finish. Best from 2026 through 2045. 208 cases made, 25 cases imported.

Rich and opulent aromas of dried berries, strawberries, toasty oak and dried meat. Full-bodied, very rich and powerful with lots of fruit and dried oak showing. Coffee beans as well. Layered and plush. Old school. But impressive. Drink in three or four years and onwards.
