Robert Parker Wine Advocate Monica Larner - 17 Jun 21
This late-release wine takes us back in time to a beautifully sunny and warm vintage. The Luciano Sandrone 2015 Nebbiolo d'Alba Valmaggiore Sibi et Pauci hit all the right marks and is drinking beautifully at this point in time. The wine reveals an ideal mix of primary and tertiary aromas, with dried cherry and plum backed by crushed flowers, licorice and smoke. Enjoy it with a typical Piedmont tajarin and shaved truffles.

Italy

Italy, renowned for its diverse wine styles, produces wines from a vast range of indigenous grapes, reflecting its varied climates and soils. Notable reds include Barolo and Barbaresco from Piedmont, made from Nebbiolo, and Brunello di Montalcino from Tuscany, crafted from Sangiovese. Chianti Classico, also from Tuscany, is known for its vibrant Sangiovese-based blends, while Veneto's Amarone is a rich, full-bodied wine made from dried grapes. Top producers like Gaja, Antinori, and Marchesi di Barolo exemplify Italy's commitment to quality and tradition in winemaking.
