My favorite Valtellina producer. Consistently exemplary wine. Medium intensity nose of great purity: dark cherry, alpine rocks, brambly underbrush. Lean but with intense dark cherry fruit in the front half of the palate, transitioning to intensely refreshing cracked rock minerality. Very nice acidity and lots of fine-grained chalky tannin. Will only get better over the next 5 years.

Wow: what a wine. Huge step up in depth, body and complexity from the Rosso 2016. Epic old school Nebbiolo nose of tar, roses, high toned mid season cherry. Old library and book aromas. Smells like a old academic’s study. Awesome. Palate is deep, rich and so so pure. Wow. Super explosive and rich fruit (2013!!) and incredible layered depth. Such length and persistence with deep red and black cherry fruit and terrific freshness. Really high quality tannins here. Brilliant.
