Luciano Sandrone: A Legend In His Own Words

April 6th, 2010

David Berry Green, Sandrone’s importer in the UK, has another video up, discussing Sandrone’s philosophy of great Nebbiolo. Luciano feels that low yields, achieved through extensive green harvesting, are the key to quality fruit, and that, by fermenting small lots with wild yeasts and giving the wines extended fermentation times (up to 50 days!), the true essence of Nebbiolo can be captured in the Valmaggiore, Le Vigne, and Cannubi Boschis.
