The 2019 Luciano Sandrone Valmaggiore Nebbiolo d'Alba Sibi et Paucis Magnum (1500ml) is a beautifully expressive Nebbiolo sourced from the renowned Valmaggiore vineyard in Roero. Produced in limited quantities and presented in a magnum format, it highlights Luciano Sandrone's elegant, terroir-driven approach to winemaking. The nose is lifted with aromas of rose petals, red cherry and wild strawberry, complemented by hints of violet, spice and subtle earthy notes.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with vibrant acidity and finely textured tannins. Flavours of red berries, cranberry and delicate spice are framed by a silky texture and a lingering mineral finish, offering freshness, balance and impressive finesse. The magnum format provides ideal conditions for slow, graceful bottle ageing.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this magnum is an excellent choice for Nebbiolo enthusiasts seeking a refined alternative to Barolo while retaining the variety's classic character. Pair with mushroom risotto, duck, veal, slow-braised beef or aged hard cheeses. Enjoy now with decanting or cellar for the next 10–15 years as additional complexity develops.
