Inferno Valtellina Superiore Nebbiolo

Light, rust colored; some bright fruit, light tannins, and pure cherry fruit. Quite quaffable! Went well with orecchiette, sausage and rapa. I do love Valtellina neb. North meets South with this dinner. — 5 days ago

Riserva Rocca de Piro Grumello Valtellina Superiore Nebbiolo 2017

Fantastic! This Brunello is amazing - the 2017 feels like still quite young, chewable and still very complex. — 17 days ago

Needed 24 hours. Was a mess last night. Put a cork back in it and was the right call. Glorious aromas of spice, roses and damp earth. Palate is silky and ethereal. Gorgeous texture, freshness and so supple. — 9 days ago

Canua Sforzato Di Valtellina Nebbiolo 2004

Wow what a surprising and interesting wine. Done in amarone styling this wine must be very intense on release. At 24 years old it was still punchy but very drinkable. Layers of flavors and aromatics was actually great with the rack of lamb — a month ago

Sfursat Valtellina Nebbiolo 2021

Still young but very promissing. Rose petals, forrest, cherry and black fruit. Together with rib eye at ‘new’ Michelin bib gourmand @Sjiek in Maastricht. Fine pricing @ €75 a bottle — 2 months ago

Ca' Brione Terrazze Retiche di Sondrio White Blend 2022

Another Valtellinese but a white blend. It even has a bit of Chiavennasca in it.
Light peach and melon but also a bit of oak. Dry and clean finish. July 2025

Grumello Rocca de Piro Valtellina Superiore Nebbiolo 2019

Vino vValtellinese — my favorite. Still young but juicy, minty, red fruit, brown sugar, etc. Better than 2015 vintage. — 18 days ago

Riserva Buon Consiglio Grumello Valtellina Superiore Nebbiolo 2007

A Barolo wearing a paisley tie. Very fresh, medium minus body. Would have guessed five-year old Nebbiolo. — 23 days ago

Unreal nose. The chestnut barrels really doing their thing here. This also just reeks of terroir. Reeks. Unreal wet earth, mushrooms, marsh, spices galore and damson roses. Unreal cherry clarity. Just stunning out of the gates. Palate is ultra juicy and clean, silky and smooth right out of the gates which is highly unusual for this Cru as it needs hours, often days of air. A wine that tastes and smells like Autumn. So fresh, energetic but also has the plumpness of 18. Can’t wait to see where this goes. — 2 months ago
