Luciano Sandrone
About Luciano Sandrone
One of the longest-lived and most imposing styles of fine wine on the planet, Barolo counts itself as the widely acknowledged “King of Italian Wines” - with good reason. Forged from the ancient hills of Piedmont and crafted from the iconic Nebbiolo grape, top cuvées are amongst the most desirable bottles in the world.
Beginning his legendary career at the famous Marchesi di Barolo, it was in fact whilst still working there that Luciano Sandrone produced his 1989 Barolo Cannubi Boschis, one of Piedmont’s most revered wines ever. Marked for immeasurable success since before this seminal vintage, Sandrone left in the Spring of 1990 to focus entirely on his own estate – a move the vinous world thanks him for!

The 2017 Nebbiolo d'Alba Valmaggiore is bright, fruity and absolutely delicious. The warm vintage seems to have given the Valmaggiore an extra kick of mid-palate sweetness, which is not a bad thing for a wine that can at times be a bit lean. Sweet red berry fruit and floral notes are nicely pushed forward. The 2017 will benefit from a few years in bottle, which will allow the aromatics to develop, but it is impeccable in its balance and super-classy, even in the early going.HK$2,475.00
