2023 Luciano Sandrone Valmaggiore Nebbiolo d'Alba

94 POINTS

Falstaff

Light ruby red with garnet-red reflections. Orange, watermelon and raspberry on the nose, with violets and a hint of spice in the background. Fresh and juicy on the palate, with fine tannins, well-balanced and a medium-long finish.Reviewers: Othmar Kiem, Simon Staffler

The Luciano Sandrone 2023 Nebbiolo d'Alba Valmaggiore shows dark fruit aromas with hints of grilled herb, tar, eggplant skin and black olive that recall a hot growing season. To the palate, the wine is quite streamlined with moderate length. This is a more accessible vintage for near-term drinking. This 28,000-bottle release draws its fruit from the village of Vezza d'Alba.

The 2023 Nebbiolo d'Alba Valmaggiore is a very pretty, aromatic wine. Crushed flowers, ripe red-toned fruit, kirsch, cinnamon, rose petal and hard candy all grace this silky, perfumed Nebbiolo. The 2023 is distinctly Pinot-leaning in its inner sweetness and mid-weight feel.
