Luciano Sandrone’s Valmaggiore Nebbiolo d’Alba 2021 layers vibrant red cherry and raspberry fruit with notes of tea leaf, rose, spice and a touch of earth, all carried on a tense, mineral backbone. The palate is medium-bodied yet concentrated, with fine, assertive tannins that frame the fruit and promise rewarding complexity with time in bottle.
Tajarin with white truffle; braised veal shank (ossobuco); mushroom and herb risotto
Sandrone’s Valmaggiore is a single‑site Nebbiolo d’Alba from the steep, south‑facing amphitheatre of Valmaggiore in the Roero (Vezza d’Alba) that showcases Nebbiolo’s floral-rose and red‑berry perfume on sandy, fossil‑rich soils. Made as a 100% Nebbiolo with spontaneous fermentations and medium oak ageing (short cask/tonneau maturation followed by bottle rest), it’s lighter and more luminous than Barolo—marked by delicate spice, bright red fruit, fine ripe tannins and a fresh, mineral finish.
