Tasting Notes

This Valtellina Superiore DOCG stands as a benchmark for Lombardy's highest quality classification. 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 in the vineyard Cà Morei, at 550 meters above sea level, facing South, on sandy and loamy. Vinification: 7 days maceration on the skins, fermentation in stainless steel. The wine is aged 12 months in barrique. A wine reflecting the alpine influence found across Lombardy's varied terroir.
