Luciano Sandrone’s Nebbiolo di Valmaggiore 2022 is a refined expression of Nebbiolo grown in the Roero, an area known for its sandy soils that give the wine finesse and freshness. This bright ruby red with garnet highlights releases a bouquet of raspberry, fresh cherry, violet and fine spice, with a hint of earth and minerality. Aged for 12 months in tonneaux, it offers a lean and vibrant palate, with delicate tannins and a fresh and spicy finish. The fresh and balanced 2022 vintage makes this Nebbiolo a very drinkable wine, with an elegance that makes it ideal to accompany Piedmontese dishes or to be enjoyed young, with aging potential until 2032.
