The 2023 Luciano Sandrone Valmaggiore Nebbiolo d'Alba is a beautifully perfumed and refined Nebbiolo sourced from the famed Valmaggiore vineyard in Roero, where sandy soils produce wines of exceptional elegance and aromatic lift. Crafted in Luciano Sandrone’s polished yet traditional style, the wine balances vibrant red fruit with savoury complexity and fine mineral structure. The nose reveals red cherry, raspberry and dried rose layered alongside blood orange, spice and delicate earthy notes, giving the wine remarkable freshness and finesse.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with fine tannins, bright natural acidity and beautifully pure red berry fruit. Layers of cherry, cranberry and savoury spice are balanced by mineral freshness and subtle earthy depth, finishing long, poised and finely textured with classic Nebbiolo elegance and energy.
