Luciano Sandrone is a Barolo legend, but this Nebbiolo d'Alba comes from one of Piedmont's most thrilling vineyards: Valmaggiore, a steep sandy amphitheater in the Roero that's so vertical (45 degrees in spots) every task has to be done by hand. Those deep, well-drained sands give Nebbiolo a perfumed, silky, almost weightless expression, all aroma and lift rather than brute power. This is a Nebbiolo with serious pedigree from a great producer, now with bottle age that's softened its edges. The 2010 was an outstanding Piedmont vintage, and this is drinking beautifully right now.

Antonio Galloni

"The 2010 Nebbiolo d'Alba Valmaggiore shows just how expressive and pure the vintage is. A wine of precision, depth and weightless elegance, the 2010 simply has it all. Sweet red cherry, raspberry, wild flowers are beautifully delineated. The 2010 is translucent, expressive and in a great spot today to offer fine drinking." —Antonio Galloni

Robert Parker

92 points

"The 2010 Nebbiolo d'Alba Valmaggiore is a gorgeous wine that delivers a surprising level of depth and complexity. The wine is redolent of dried cherry, licorice, tar, resin, pressed violet and grilled herb. Its silky texture wraps smoothly over the palate. In all honesty, this Nebbiolo d'Alba tastes as good as a Barolo and should age forward for at least five more years." —Monica Larner

Tajarin with butter and sage, braised rabbit, mushroom risotto.

Tasting Profile

Perfumed, silky Nebbiolo: rose, red cherry and a whiff of forest floor, light on its feet with fine sandy-soil tannins. Mature, aromatic and elegant.
