Black Truffle ravioli, heirloom tomatoes, and farm fresh kale went perfectly with this properly aged Valtellina Nebbiolo. It has truffle and aged salumi with baked plum and smoky cherry bursting aromatically alongside violet and briny plum reduction. A corned beef and grilled pork along with ground steak skimming. Amazing. Blood orange dried bing and cran, dried violet, cedar and light tobacco, clove, and lightest graphite. This is elegant as a samurai sword with the blacksmith residue to prove it, Rose petal, and a hemp resin moment tamed by cinnamon. Incredible on all levels. #rainoldi #rainoldivaltellina #valtellina #valtellinasuperiore #sassellareserva #nebbiolo #chiavennasca — 4 years ago

Nice Neb. Soft tannins, high acid. Drinkable but not incredibly complex. — 10 years ago

If you like Pinot Noir, you should give Valtellina a shot. Made mostly, if not entirely, of Nebbiolo this is a version that is perfumed, elegant and can cross over to the white wine food spectrum. Bright red fruits, fresh but not overwhelming acidity, medium bodied, with fine, ripe and silky tannin. #valtellina #nebbiolo — 9 years ago

Underripe wild strawberry, clove, smoke and blood orange rind, holly berry, dried rose petal and lemon threads interweaving electrically. Very lemony pink grapefruit on the palate drying immediately. Tangerine pith, chalky, with dried star fruit, bing cherry, marigold, and shadows of tar. #nebbiolo #valtellina #chiavennasca #northernitalianwines #Rainoldi #brutrosé #bubbles #sparklingwine #obscure #brut — 8 years ago
