Tasting notes
Luciano Sandrone's Nebbiolo d'Alba Valmaggiore is a true reflection of Piedmont's rich terroir. This 2001 vintage, made entirely from Nebbiolo grapes, reveals its full potential over time. With Sandrone's dedication, it offers an elegant and complex taste that stands out in every sip.
In volume 20, this wine appears after a pivotal match, shared by Fujieda in the sound of Utsukushigahara's bells. The wine is described as having a vibrant yet somewhat solitary resonance, chosen for a moment that holds special meaning.
The color is a brick-tinged garnet, and when swirled, it shows a viscous leg that moves slowly down the glass. The aroma is open, with notes of mature rose, dried plums, and a hint of tobacco. The initial taste is soft, with lively acidity that carries a rounded impression. The tannins are silky, gently melting into the palate.
The finish is long, with a complexity that offers new discoveries with every sip. To enjoy this wine best, serve it slightly chilled in a large glass to fully appreciate its depth and elegance.
