Expert Reviews
Made since 1994, Valmaggiore is a gem in Sandrone’s portfolio and one that should not be overlooked in 2022. Harvested between 15-23 September, the steep, south-facing slope required six separate passes to bring in fruit at optimal ripeness. Worth the painstaking effort, it soars with nutmeg- and cinnamon-infused cherry. There's a sweet, lustrous quality to the fruit, while background florals and citrussy rosehip tea lend further dimension. Long, silky tannins prop up the palate effortlessly. Engaging and friendly without being superficial. Top quality must-buy.
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.
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. Production is 28,000 bottles.
