- TASTING NOTE: "The 2022 Nebbiolo d'Alba Valmaggiore is quite the surprise, given the challenging conditions of the year. Sweet red cherry fruit, kirsch, mint, dried flowers, orange peel and cinnamon build effortlessly in the glass. Soft, silky contours wrap it all together in style. This is impeccably done. (Drink between 2026-2034)" 93 Points - Antonio Galloni, Vinous
- ABOUT THE WINE: This Nebbiolo comes from the Valmaggiore vineyard in the Roero region, which is gaining relevance. Luciano Sandrone foresaw this potential when he planted Nebbiolo in Valmaggiore 30 years ago, carefully selecting the most promising aspects of the site. The vineyard is extremely steep, situated on sandy soil, and is planted at a high density of 8,000 vines per hectare, allowing for competition among the vines that enhances their quality. Fermentation occurs in tanks, followed by malolactic conversion and maturation in old French demi-muids, with aging lasting 9 to 12 months.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: The winemaking tradition of the Sandrone family began in the 1970s. They currently cultivate 27 hectares across the Langhe and Roero regions. Every stage of production is carried out with a commitment to sustainability and the utmost respect for the environment, starting with meticulous vineyard design to minimize the need for chemicals. Their production philosophy views winemaking and winegrowing as the sum of many elements, none of which are predominant: their pursuit is to provide the world with a contemporary version of classic and iconic wines from the legendary Piemonte region.
