Fiamme Antiche Inferno Valtellina Superiore Nebbiolo 2010

Very nice but have a sneaking suspicion this would have maybe been just a smidge better a couple years ago? Aromatically incredible, one of those wines you can just smell and smell. Quite high toned, floral, and red fruited on the nose, which carries through to the palate. Excellent acid. Tannins are just a whisper which makes this overall come off as lighter than I expected. Long finish and delicious. — 18 days ago

Inferno Valtellina Superiore Nebbiolo

Light, rust colored; some bright fruit, light tannins, and pure cherry fruit. Quite quaffable! Went well with orecchiette, sausage and rapa. I do love Valtellina neb. North meets South with this dinner. — a month ago

Riserva Buon Consiglio Grumello Valtellina Superiore Nebbiolo 2007

A Barolo wearing a paisley tie. Very fresh, medium minus body. Would have guessed five-year old Nebbiolo. — 2 months ago

Le Urscele Valtellina Superiore Nebbiolo 2018

Effed up on pop and pour. Needs an hour. Then it’s Magic.

Nose: dusty pink roses. 90 minutes in - black truffles. Liquid sex.

Palate: sweet pink roses. Savory. Juicy. So good.

So distinctive. A must own.

These are some of my favorite Mountain Nebbiolo. ArPePe actually ages the Riserva before releasing. — a month ago

Needed 24 hours. Was a mess last night. Put a cork back in it and was the right call. Glorious aromas of spice, roses and damp earth. Palate is silky and ethereal. Gorgeous texture, freshness and so supple. — a month ago

Love it. Dusty, rose petals, and cherry. Easy to keep drinking glass after glass. — 2 months ago

Riserva Vigna Regina Sassella Valtellina Superiore Nebbiolo 2017

Well, after almost all have departed and just some close friends and family are left, out comes the Valtellina’s prize. An ever changing chameleon of Nebbiolo* that drinks like 1er Cru Burgundy. Problem is holding on to them. — a month ago

Riserva Rocca de Piro Grumello Valtellina Superiore Nebbiolo 2017

Fantastic! This Brunello is amazing - the 2017 feels like still quite young, chewable and still very complex. — 2 months ago
