Each year, about 10 to 15% of the production of their Nebbiolo wines (the two Barolos and the Valmaggiore) is held back in the winery’s underground cellars under optimal aging conditions, to provide this producer’s long-term clients with aged-release wines that are closer to maturity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is Luciano Sandrone’s dream that one day all his wines will be released only when they are ready to drink. Currently, the Sibi et Paucis wines start being re-released six years after the vintage for the Valmaggiore, and for the Barolos, 10 years after the vintage. It is a wonderful initiative that we, of course, welcome. Each release comes with a stamp on the label to differentiate it from the original release.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBelow you have the third-party notes that pertain to the re-released wines (i.e., they are all recent tastings and reviews). Having tasted these, we can say categorically that they are all drinking superbly. Still young and still capable of further development, they also deliver pleasure now, especially with a few hours in the decanter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“The 2019 Nebbiolo d’Alba Valmaggiore Sibi et Paucis is a library re-release from Sandrone. Still very young and very deep, the 2019 shows what a strong vintage this is. Beams of tannin and brisk acids shape this super-expressive Nebbiolo d’Alba. Dark red fruit, gravel, dried leaves and spice reinforce an impression of brooding power. This is built to age.” \u003cstrong\u003e93 points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Five Way Cellars","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":43199691554934,"sku":"21839","price":160.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/fivewaycellars.com.au\/products\/luciano-sandrone-nebbiolo-dalba-valmaggiore-sibi-et-paucis-2019","provider":"Five Way Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
