This Valtellina Superiore DOCG stands as a benchmark for Lombardy's highest quality classification. At 13.5% alcohol, it presents a well-balanced and harmonious profile. Crafted from Nebbiolo (Chiavennasca) 100% , this wine expresses the unique terroir characteristics. The palate shows depth and structure, with a finish that lingers pleasantly. The fruit is sourced from vineyards from terraced vineyards on steep slopes below Castel Grumello on soils rich in rock. Vinification: alcoholic fermentation in steel at controlled temperature. The wine is aged 12 months in Slavonian and French oak barrels. A wine reflecting the alpine influence found across Lombardy's varied terroir.
Lombardy is best known for Franciacorta, Italy's finest sparkling wine appellation, alongside the alpine reds of Valtellina.
