Shows lovely perfumes of cedar, rose and berries. Full-bodied, with fine tannins and a clean, refined finish. Like a solid Barolo. Hard not to drink now. Best after 2007. 1,500 cases made, 470 cases imported.??–JS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Nebbiolo d'Alba Select to Add

Sandrone’s Nebbiolos are usually minor versions of his great Barolos, but the 2004 did not show particularly well. The tannins are hard, the wine overly structured for the amount of fruit, and the finish is short to medium. ——M.G.(4/1/2007)—— 84
