2023 Sandrone Valmaggiore Nebbiolo 1500ml

91 Points – James Suckling A layered wine with red currants, red cherries, licorice and dried flowers on the nose. Light-bodied, this shows savoriness with an overall austere structure and a crisp and balanced finish. Drink or hold. 90 Points – Vinous 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. 90 Points – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate 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.
