Crianza Ribera del Duero Tempranillo 2006
Good black cherry fruit with some earth and moderate tannins. I had it on its own, but it would be good with a hearty meat dish.

Convento San Lorenzo – Vesper Rosso di Valtellina / Nebbiolo / 2021
Valtellina DOC – Lombardy, Italy 🇮🇹
Overview
A fresh and vibrant 100% Nebbiolo crafted from the sun-soaked terraced vineyards of Valtellina, one of Italy’s northernmost winegrowing regions. This alpine setting gives Nebbiolo a lighter, more graceful expression than its Piedmont cousins.
Aromas & Flavors
Juicy red cherries, wild strawberries, and rose petals, lifted by subtle herbal and mineral notes.
Mouthfeel
Light-bodied yet structured, with lively acidity and smooth, fine tannins that glide across the palate.
Food Pairings
Bresaola, smoked brisket sliders, or a rustic spread of charcuterie.
Verdict
Pop, pour, and enjoy, this is Nebbiolo at its most approachable and charming, with no need for cellaring.
Did You Know?
Valtellina is one of the few places outside Piedmont where Nebbiolo thrives, locally called Chiavennasca. Its terraced vineyards, carved into steep alpine slopes, are UNESCO-recognized for their cultural heritage.
