Tasting notes
Transparent red colour. Lightly bricking. Fine nose that grows with some air. Hints of tobacco, fresh red berries, fine floral high
notes. To me this mix of very fresh fruit with more complex aromas is very typical of this producer. Medium bodied nebbiolo in the
mouth. Fine and old-fashioned fruit with medium concentration. Tobacco-scented. Leafy. Typical Valtellina. With some floral notes and
this fresh fruitiness. Fine acids and some tannins in the back. Drinking well now, but will age 5-10 years. Fine Valtellina.
Arnt Egil Nordlien Tasting note: Jan-07
Light red colour. Great nose with hints of anise, floral notes, tar, some fresh red berries, some old woods. Perfumed and high noted.
Medium bodied Valtellina superiore in the mouth in a delicate style with great depth. Classic, perfumed and floral fruit with fine
notes of anise. Not the fullest wine, but with a fine taste-curve with fruit all the way. Fine acidity and some tannins in the back.
Good length. Great Valtellina superiore.
