2022 Luciano Sandrone Valmaggiore Nebbiolo d'Alba

94 POINTS

Falstaff

Bright, shiny ruby red with a subtly brightening rim. Subtle nose, a potpourri of watermelon, oranges and rose hips, light spice in the finish. On the palate a polished fruit core and great juiciness, comes in several waves, hearty, radiant, drinks very well.

Antonio Galloni MW - Vinous

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.

Monica Larner - Robert Parker Wine Advocate

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.
