2024 Elio Sandri, Langhe Nebbiolo

Elio Sandri operates the Cascina Disa estate in the Perno hamlet of Monforte d’Alba, a property the family has stewarded since acquiring it in 1965. This wine is made from vines planted in cool, forest-adjacent plots with marl and limestone soils that define the unique topography of this sub-region. The result is a wine showing lifted aromatics of dried rose, forest floor, and wild cherry, supported by a firm, persistent structure. The 2024 vintage provided a favorable growing season that allowed for precise ripening, contributing to the wine's clear, vibrant profile. It is a balanced, honest expression of its terroir that is ready to enjoy now but possesses the acidity to develop further in the bottle.
