This Nebbiolo comes from one of the best vineyards in the Roero and is vinified by Luciano Sandrone with the same care as a Barolo. Brilliant ruby-garnet colour. Wonderful aroma of light red fruit, mainly raspberry and cherry. Earthy on the palate with a lovely strawberry touch and an incredible amount of elegance. The fine-grained tannin is wonderfully integrated and, together with a subtle minerality, gives this Nebbiolo a race, depth and finesse that is unrivalled. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright, shiny ruby red with a subtly brightening rim. Subtle nose, a potpourri of watermelon, oranges and rose hips, light spice on the finish. On the palate with a polished fruit core and great juiciness, comes in several waves, savoury, radiant, drinks very well." Falstaff

"The tonneaux-aged Luciano Sandrone 2022 Nebbiolo d'Alba Valmaggiore offers the elegant points that you expect of the Nebbiolo grape, along with high-toned notes of tart cherry and raspberry. The wine is luminous and shiny in appearance with a sense of vertical immediacy. I really like this wine, especially its glossy fruit-driven aromas." Wine Advocate

"Very restrained on the nose, with liquorice, smoky forest notes and dried and ripe cherries. Firm tannins, somewhat dusty on the mid-palate, with refreshing acidity, a medium body and good fruit concentration." James Suckling

"The Nebbiolo d'Alba Valmaggiore 2022 is quite a surprise, considering the difficult conditions of the year. Sweet red cherry fruit, kirsch, mint, dried flowers, orange peel and cinnamon unfold effortlessly in the glass. Soft, silky contours round it all off in style. This wine is impeccably made." Vinous
