Felt thin and astringent at first, but opened into a very elegant expression of Valtellina Nebbiolo. Great balance, with gull expression deep into the palate. Violets/lavander at the edge, evolving to ripe ribes and cedar

Really a lovely nebbiolo from Valtellina. So much dried flower on the nose. Beautifully medium bodied, great tension with fruit and earth and acid, and even with just a bit of air very enjoyable.

Clear deep purple with clean pronounced aromas of plums, cherries, rose and spice. Dry with well balanced acidity, lovely smooth tannins and a medium bodied, medium finish. Complex flavours of black fruits make this an excellent, complex wine.
