Bright acidity (med-high), some deep red and purple fruit notes, cassis/currant. Aromatic and medium tannins, smooth yet slightly grippy. Not the longest finish and body is quite light. Almost floral. Drinks like an excited young kid version of a barolo, like an even lighter babaresco.

What @Pooneet K said - this was elegant, refined, fresh, aromatic, finely balanced and a great $ value. Need more Valtellina in my life

Truly excellent value Nebbiolo from valtellina. I need to get out there! Pale red in the glass, definitely on the lighter side overall. Wonderful aromatics. Long finish with great acid balance. Fruit is restrained but refined and nice.
