Dislivelli, Rosso di Valtellina 2021
Place: Valtellina, Italy
Grape: Nebbiolo
Vibe: Elite
Chiavannesca AKA Nebb from the Sassella site high up in the hills of Valtellina. This is otherworldly and made in tiny quantities. Gently vinified and aged in small custom-built earthenware. The nose is enticing. Lifted, with rose hips, strawberries, and dried herbs. The palate is lean and elegantly structured with an almost Campari-like finish. Complexity is through the roof here. If ever, a wine was deserving of the word ethereal, this is it. ABV:12.5%
