A very open and fruity style Valtellina. Nose has loads of rock-infused cherry juice, counterbalanced by some old library scents. Although the color is surprisingly light, the flavors are expansive, with fruit at the front end then giving way to what is essentially liquid stone flavors. Tannins there but in check, nice acids. Unique style. Great with crescia (basically Italian empanadas filled with greens, ham, and cheese, and fried in olive oil.)

Charming Valtellina, smooth and black cherry flavored with some plum. Solid Nebbiolo but unremarkable. This wine nicely accompanied Sottocenere. At $36 a good value Nebbiolo.

Very good. Paired with grass fed 85% lean beef burgers... served on Vermont English muffins with American cheese and grey poupon. Sliced yams roasted with Smoky Burbs seasoning and roasted asparagus with lemon and sea salt
