Nettare Rosso Di Valtellina Nebbiolo

Chiavennasca (alias nebbiolo) of great elegance
Light and super easy
So so pretty
Long and...you just need more

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!

Wow. Just wow… made in concrete? More soon after some research

i loved this - perfect with sausage and fennel pasta

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.

Via Vecchia pick, nice, light, translucent opening with a bit more acidity but mellowing

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

Such a nice wine. Maybe I was a little too excited about it last year when I gave it a 9.7. But my comments still stand. What kind of a tool would rate this 8.8?? ( see below for the exciting answer).

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