Insanely delicious Nebbiolo from valtellina. Deep cherry, nectarine, and blood orange with bright acid yet supple mouthfeel. Balanced wine selections is winning with this entry — 9 years ago

Brilliant wine. Big red sour cherries, pine resin, sappy undergrowth, very mineral and alpine vibe. Ripe and complex with lovely tart sour cherry. Terrific fine tannins and insane freshness. Wonderful purity and depth. Lovely balance. — 7 years ago

Crazy value - perfectly aged and ready to go alpine nebbiolo. Compared to Barbaresco, add an extra hit of roses, ease back on the tannins and slip in a touch of balsamic, and you've got something that'll kill it with any roast meat or rich pasta dish. — 9 years ago
