Description / Reviews
"Valmaggiore is a magical, three-hectare, amphitheatre-shaped vineyard in the Roero area of Piemonte. The site is farmed meticulously and organically, and strict sorting occurs each year to reach the level of purity and intensity we see in the glass. Fermentation takes place in tank, with malolactic fermentation and maturation in old French demi-muid (with 9-12 months aging). Over the years, this wine has developed a passionate following in Australia and deserves every plaudit. It is a unique wine of tremendous perfume, chalky texture and finesse, with an elegance and prettiness quite distinct from the denser, darker, more structured styles produced in the clay-rich soils of Barolo and Barbaresco." - Bibendum, Importer
"The 2022 Nebbiolo d'Alba Valmaggiore is quite the surprise, given the challenging conditions of the year. Sweet red cherry fruit, kirsch, mint, dried flowers, orange peel and cinnamon build effortlessly in the glass. Soft, silky contours wrap it all together in style. This is impeccably done." - 93 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous
"This wine comes from a celebrated vineyard located in the town of Vezza d'Alba. The tonneaux-aged Luciano Sandrone 2022 Nebbiolo d'Alba Valmaggiore offers the elegant points that you expect of the Nebbiolo grape, along with high-toned notes of tart cherry and raspberry. The wine is luminous and shiny in appearance with a sense of vertical immediacy. I really like this wine, especially its glossy fruit-driven aromas." - 92 Points, Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate
