Special: 2002 LUCIANO SANDRONE Nebbiolo “Valmaggiore”
 WINE FIND: 2002 LUCIANO SANDRONE Nebbiolo d’Alba “Valmaggiore” Reg. $45 Special $30!! SOLD OUT! Another amazing 2002 and another example where great producer trumps bad vintage. No surprise, here really — the best producers like LUCIANO SANDRONE always come out on top, and often exceed expectations.“I was frankly amazed by the quality of the 2002 Nebbiolo d’Alba Valmaggiore. In a vintage which saw most producers fighting rot, the Sandrone brothers managed to harvest fruit of exemplary ripeness. The long and sustained floral aromas, the attractive notes of spice and coconut, and the solidity and grip of the finish almost defy explanation. Drink: 2005-2012.” –Wine Advocate |
