Tasting Notes

This Valtellina Superiore DOCG stands as a benchmark for Lombardy's highest quality classification. With 13% alcohol, it strikes a confident balance between body and freshness. 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 at 450/500 metres above sea level, faced to South. Vinification: fermentation in big oak barrels with maceration on the skins for 45 days. The wine is aged 60 months in big chestnut barrels and at least 36 months in bottle. A wine true to the meticulous Lombard approach to winemaking.
