Valtellina Superiore Ascesa

This prestigious Valtellina DOCG represents the pinnacle of Italian winemaking excellence. Its 13.5% alcohol content supports a rounded, well-integrated style. 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 from the Grumello area (380-420 meters above sea level) and Sassella (400-430 meters above sea level). Vinification: spontaneous alcoholic fermentation with indigenous yeasts and maceration on the skins for 22 days. The wine is aged 12 months in barriques (75% of 3rd-4th passage and 25% new). A wine reflecting the alpine influence found across Lombardy's varied terroir.
