Tasting Notes

This prestigious Valtellina Superiore DOCG represents the pinnacle of Italian winemaking excellence. With 13.5% alcohol, it strikes a confident balance between body and freshness. Crafted from Nebbiolo (Chiavennasca) 100%, this wine expresses the unique terroir characteristics. Expect layered dark fruit aromas, firm tannins and a long, satisfying finish. The fruit is sourced from vineyards in Valgella, in the vineyard Caterìa, at 500 m. above sea level, with Southern exposure and sandy soil and silty. Vinification: maceration for 7 days to 14 days. The wine is aged 12 months in barrique. A wine reflecting the alpine influence found across Lombardy's varied terroir.
