The Luciano Sandrone 2018 Nebbiolo d’Alba Valmaggiore shows a very fruity, fresh and accessible side of the Nebbiolo grape. This wine is open-knit and inviting with a steady succession of aromas that range from red cherry and plum to rosemary sprig and crushed mineral. On some level, you could call it Barolo Lite, although that does not do justice to the Valmaggiore vineyard in Roero that outperforms year after year. The wine is Barolo-adjacent for sure, but it offers its own bright and distinct personality. It’s an exciting, new generation of Nebbiolo. 94 Points – Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate

Tannins are prodigious as the […]

Classic notes of sweet cherry, raspberry, but also hedgefruits. Rippling and gripping, full of brightness and […]

Round and piquant, with a stimulating fruit and salinity, this is a very well-defined, crystalline and straight Spätlese of great finesse and elegance. It […]
Add to cart Producer: JJ PrumTasted alongside the 2018, it’s striking to taste the sites DNA, despite the different seasons and subtly different approach to winemaking. A coolish vintage, wet and humid, so extremely difficult for wine growers, but excellent conditions for Nebbiolo. Very classically styled and reminiscent of Barolo/Barbaresco 20 years ago; translucent and with a russet tinge. Lovely, […]
