From: Piemonte, Italy
Varietal: Nebbiolo
Taste & Critical Acclaim: 93 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The Luciano Sandrone 2017 Nebbiolo d'Alba Valmaggiore Sibi et Pauci comes roaring out of the gate with bold intensity, dark fruit, dried cherry and baked plum. This hot-vintage Nebbiolo offers pretty fullness in terms of aromas and flavors, but the wine proves thinner on the mid-palate. It is fully loaded up front but less so on the back end.
90 James Suckling
Attractive strawberry and orange-peel character. Medium body. Light tannins and a fresh finish.
90 Wine Spectator
Features rich, bright cherry fruit and dense tannins. Earth, eucalyptus and floral notes add depth to this balanced yet muscular version. Possesses the weight and structure of a Barolo, but is a tad less complex and long. Decant. Best from 2021 through 2028.
