Description

Luciano Sandrone farms an organic vineyard in Valmaggiore in Roero, just to the north of Barolo itself, and this is their source for a high-toned, exceptional Nebbiolo that would turn heads even it were bottled as Barolo.

It's a spectacular, amphitheatre vineyard, very densely planted, and with more limestone than the clay-heavy soils to the south.

Layered and powerful for sure, but with a line of limestone tension running through it, and a mineral, stoney feel to the finish.

Best drunk in 5-10 years but lavishly enjoyable now if you're feeling frivolous.

    2020 Drop

    Great drop from a great producer!

The amphitheater. In the Roero zone, in the town of Vezza d'Alba, on the left bank of the river Tanaro, the concave Valmaggiore hill is one of the best historic examples of origin and quality. Already in the nineteenth century, the Nebbiolo grapes grown in this vineyard were so highly regarded that they dictated the price for the entire territory. In the 1990s, the first sight of Valmaggiore was like a bolt of lightning for Luciano and Luca: they fell in love at first sight. This was not only for the history and the long viticultural tradition, but also for the particular uniqueness of those sandy soils combined with the microclimate.
