Questo vino

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes grow in Valgella at more than 500 m above sea level. Valgella lies in Valtellina, a deep Alpine valley following the Adda River from east to west.

Grapes

Nebbiolo is locally known as Chiavennasca, a name derived from the town of Chiavenna.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand at optimal ripeness. Fermentation begins spontaneously in stainless-steel vats, with maceration lasting up to 20 days.

Ageing

The wine undergoes extended ageing in large oak barrels.

Tasting profile

Aromatic and lively, with the rounded character and firm tannins associated in the source with Valtellina Nebbiolo.

Serving and pairing

Decant for at least 30 minutes before serving.
