Sandrone Valmaggiore Nebbiolo d'Alba 2019 750mL

An amphitheater in the Roero district. Already in the nineteenth century, the Nebbiolo grapes grown in the Valmaggiore vineyard were so highly regarded that they dictated the price for the entire territory. In the 1990s Luciano, Luca and Barbara fell in love at first sight with Valmaggiore. This was not only for the history and the long viticultural tradition, but also for the uniqueness of those sandy soils combined with the microclimate. Nature is rich and vigorous in Roero, the ground is soft and sandy, the slopes extremely steep and the shape is perfect: our Valmaggiore is a natural amphitheater facing the south, with full exposure to the sun. Already in the planting of the vineyard, the respect for nature and traditions were strategic. This respect is present every day: we cultivate by hand, row by row, and we harvest only the ripest grapes. The Nebbiolo in Roero is distinguished for its finesse and elegance and we, like those in the past who were also proud and convinced, wish that our Valmaggiore wine expresses all the grace and refinement of Nebbiolo.

Grape Varietals:

100% Nebbiolo

Tasting Notes:

The 2019 Barolo vintage gave classically structured wines of good longevity, and in the Roero region these characteristics are mirrored, albeit in less extracted and structured wines. The 2019 Valmaggiore Nebbiolo d’Alba shows a perfumed, floral nose of roses, pomegranate and dark cherries, with mineral and spice notes. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, balanced, ethereal and with great length. The finish is defined by the sweet, elegant tannins and the persistence of the fruit.
