Sentio Nebbiolo 2021
$65.00Out of Stock
A wonderful juxtaposition here between nebbiolo florals, fruit and tannin/acidity. There’s an imposing structural strength behind the delicacy of the florals and the concentration of fruit. It’s early days, but the basis for an exciting, long-lived wine is here. Rose, anise, cranberry, cherry, dried flowers, earth and leaves introduce a wine that the longer it […]

Luciano Sandrone Valmaggiore Nebbiolo d’Alba 2021
