Tenuta Vinea Scersce
Nettare Rosso Di Valtellina Nebbiolo
Valtellina, Sondrio, Lombardia, Italy
Nice, ripe, light-on-its-feet entry level Valtellina. Translucent color with a little amber. Nose is lots of cherry and crushed stone: think a solid Bourgogne Rouge. Lots of stony, cried cherry fruit and good acids. Nice weekday wine. Thanks to my brother for this one too!

In the glass it’s translucent garnet. Nose is all roses with some stone fruit. I think it needed some time for VA to blow off but wow. All stone fruits and gravely mineral notes. ++ acidity. Just enough tannins to let you know they’re there. Not really a long finish. This is NOT a budget Barolo but it IS a great Nebbiolo expression.

Pretty light, great acids, light tannins. Smooth drinking. Lots of cherry, mineral, touch of graphite. All the goodness of high-altitude Valtellina. Translucent ruby, not the brick color nor the tar you’d expect for a Nebbiolo but great. From Main Street Wine & Gourmet, Orleans. 07/01/24

Light and bright. Recommended by Jennifer at Lucia. She sold us on the female wine maker doing Nebbiolo in Lombardy. Priced nicely.

Translucent, almost orange color; Rose and strawberry nose; Tastes like cherry with stone fruit, some granite, and barely-there tannins plus nice acidity. Honestly a bit too light for my taste, but I can appreciate it nonetheless #hopvwineclub #coronavino

This might be one of the best wines I’ve had in years ( except when I’m drinking amazing stuff at my brother Tom’s house). Nose is like fragrant roses. Color- very light, almost orange. It just shines over the entire mouth with cherries and gravel. Tannins enough to know they are there- acid to entice the next sip. Just absolutely beautiful. $28 and worth every cent, and more. Why not 10? Perfection is theoretically impossible? I guess a little more earthiness would be nice. Feel like a jerk for even writing that.
