Sandrone Nebbiolo d’Alba Valmaggiore 2023

The amphitheatre. In the Roero, in Vezza d’Alba, to the left of the Tanaro river, the concave hillside of Valmaggiore is one of the best witnesses of origin and quality. As early as the mid-19th century, the Nebbiolo grapes produced in its rows dictated the price for the entire territory. In the 1990s, the encounter with Valmaggiore was like love at first sight for Luciano and Luca. Not only because of its history and long viticultural tradition, but also because of the particular uniqueness of its sandy soils combined with its microclimate: ‘Everything by hand’. Our Valmaggiore is an amphitheatre facing the sun, with full exposure. It runs from west to east via the south. Here, nature is rich and lush. The soil is soft and sandy, the location extreme. Already in the planting of the vineyard, respect for nature and traditions were strategic, and they are so every day when we cultivate row by row by hand, when we harvest the ripest grapes, when the cultivation operations make the vineyard a laboratory of good and original fruit. Nebbiolo in the Roero. All around is the Roero, an area of impervious hills with great varietal and agronomic richness, not just viticulture. Here Nebbiolo is Elegance! And we, as in the past, convinced and proud, wish to express with our Valmaggiore the grace and refinement of Nebbiolo. Only after years of slow and silent evolution is Nebbiolo known to give its best characters. Our Valmaggiore is also one of the protagonists of the ‘sibi et paucis’ project.
