Téi Rosso di Valtellina Nebbiolo 2022

Bright acidity (med-high), some deep red and purple fruit notes, cassis/currant. Aromatic and medium tannins, smooth yet slightly grippy. Not the longest finish and body is quite light. Almost floral. Drinks like an excited young kid version of a barolo, like an even lighter babaresco. — 5 months ago

Love Sandro Fay! Have some older bottling from when I visited the winery a number of years ago - maybe next time I see you we can enjoy one!

Oh man I didn't realize people comment on things here! I hadn't had this style of nebbiolo (valtellinas) till I went to Italy recently and I really do enjoy it! Such a world of difference from the typical Piedmont nebbiolo!

Costa Bassa Valetellina Superiore Nebbiolo 2019

Took awhile for this to open up, but after a hour the nose showed new leather, sandstoney gravel, a bit of spice, and slightly dried cherry fruit. Lean and structured in the mouth, this seems like it will benefit from a few more years of aging. Certainly enjoyable now, though. — 5 months ago

This was tasted briefly at pop and pour and was then consumed from the decanter over the next few hours. Whereas the FAY was quite open, plush and had a sweeter fruited profile, this was a bit more brooding and layered. The fruit here is more red and black, with graphite, dark chocolate and mocha aromatics. Really nice depth on the mid palate with quite a strong tannic finish. Black cherries to the core with a streak of savory herbs and red clay down the middle…nice representation of Stag’s Leap district. I can see this improving with another 5-7yrs. — 3 years ago

If this was opened in 7-10 more years your mind would be bent.

SLV - Fay Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Elegant, understated, fresh. black currant & cassis, a hint of anise, nicely integrated wood. Enticing.
On the palate this is rich, creamy yet restrained & savoury. Perfectly balanced, juicy, plush tannins, filled with ripe black fruit. Beautiful mouthfeel & nice depth.
This is truly a nice one.
