Soft, subtle notes of cherry and black pepper present themselves on the palate with the slightest hint of plum and rooibos. Light to medium bodied, an everyday red that doesn't necessarily require food though goes well with slow cooked salmon and roasted acorn squash.

This is mostly Chiavennasca, the local name for Nebbiolo. Cherry, black pepper. Balanced tannins and great acidity. Fermented in a mix of concrete and stainless steel, then aged for 9 months before an additional 3 months in bottle.

Great Valtellina wine. Vibrant minty, licorice, and cherry notes that pop at every sip. Elegant and balanced. Great stuff.

Raw naked Nebbiolo, very satisfying yet simple.
