Rainoldi
Grumello Valtellina Superiore Nebbiolo Blend
Valtellina, Sondrio, Lombardia, Italy
A very soft, open, and friendly rendition. Nose has sweet cherry juice, and very clean crushed stone dust. A subtle note of new leather. Velvet textured and flowing in the mouth, it’s lean but not in an austere way. Equal parts bright cherry fruit and crushed rock. Bone dry, with good acids. A bit if soft chalky tannin in the finish. Not one to age, I’d drink this over the next few years.
UPDATE: On night 2, this has tightened up a bit and is showing more structure and complexity. Upping from 8.8 to 8.9. Give this some air.
