Sandrone Valmaggiore Nebbiolo d'Alba 2015
Our Valmaggiore is an amphitheater facing the south, with full exposure to the sun. Here, nature is rich and vigorous. The ground is soft and sandy, the slopes extremely steep. Already in the planting of the vineyard, the respect for nature and traditions were strategic. This respect is present every day: we cultivate by hand, row by row, from bud break to when we harvest the ripest grapes; we make our vineyard a laboratory for healthy and well-cultivated fruit.

Colour

Ruby red.

Bouquet

It offers nose hints of dark cherries, ripe strawberries and berries, which are embellished with tertiary tones of mint, licorice and spice.

Flavour

Balanced and harmonious on the palate, characterized by a fine tannic texture and a long persistence.

Pairing

Combined with the ground floor cooking, it is ideal to accompany the pork shark to the oven.

History The Valmaggiore vineyard in the Roero hills, on the left bank of the Tanaro river, is one of the best historic sources 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, Luca and Barbara: 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.
