Delicate and complex but stopping short a bit. At least for 25 euros.

From Italy's northernmost wine zone, Valtellina is in the far north of Lombardy near the Swiss border. 100% Nebbiolo. Like detuned Barolo - light to medium bodied with Liquorice Earth light florals and Leather notes with lighter tannins than you would expect from a young Barolo. Short term cellaring.

Light bodied floral with high tannins. Little fruit. Rose and leather on the nose.

NYE 19. First bottle from Lombardy. Very light in color. Lack of fruit. Tea and bitter. Very pinot like and a very distinctive nose of goji berry and strawberry. Someone just comment the taste is very interesting. I think the nose of rose petal, subtle mineral is good and a wine of purity and elegance

Subtle Nebbiolo character, ripe and lean at the same time.
