Tasting notes

Red colour. Pretty nose. Floral, old exotic wood, cherries. Very floral. Lots of high-notes. Medium bodied and slim Valtellina, yet it is a concentrated wine. Greatly balanced wine. Almost seemless and very elegant. Floral, smokey, exotic wood in the fruit. Slight cherries. Fine acidity. Lightly biting tannins in the finish. Still well-behaved for a nebbiolo. Very good Valtellina in a style I like a lot.
