This is a surprisingly superb Valtellina. Great value. Nose has macerated ripe wild cherry, such fragrant crushed stone, sweet spice, and just a draught of Alpine breeze sweeping over a glacier. Sorry. I got carried away. Lean but flavorful in the mouth. Great acidity, a wee bit of tannin. Finish just invites another sip. Love it.

Hel och ren frisk alp-nebbiolo. Har druvtypiska drag men saknar lite djup och komplexitet. Blir något intetsägande.

В носе лёгкий бретт и роза, вишня, уголь.
Во вкусе копчёная земляника, эвкалипт, немного рассола. Лучше охладить.
