17+/20 points Walter Speller (Jancis Robinson): "Fermented in stainless steel by indigenous yeast and with pumpovers the main extraction technique. The wine stays for three weeks on the skins, which is the entire time of the alcoholic fermentation, followed by 15 days of settling. Once the lees have completely settled, the clear wine is transferred without filtration to cask, where in spring the MLF starts spontaneously. 18 months in oak. Pale ruby. Subtle, lifted cherry nose and fluid, soft cherry and raspberry fruit with polished marzipan-like tannins. Proper depth of cherry fruit on the finish. Long, elegant and focused. Drink: 2019-2028. (Nov 2019)"

Producer notes: "This truly great mountain-produced Nebbiolo wine coming from Valtellina boasts all the great characteristics that one would expect in such a style of wine. It has a pleasing character that stimulates the palate with its balance and consistency. After careful harvesting by hand, fermentation takes place in small stainless steel containers. Aged in 6-7 year old 20hl French oak foudre for 18 months with an additional six months in the bottle before release."
