Valtellina Superiore Valgella DOCG

Red fruit, mushroom and carnation are present with a savoury palate. The Söl vineyard covers one and a half hectares at 450 metres, with southeast exposure and sandy soil. The grapes were hand-harvested, destemmed and gently pressed, with spontaneous fermentation in steel and fifty days of maceration. Maturation includes three months in steel, twelve months in barrel and nine months in bottle.

Elegant and Alpine in character, with candied rose, red cherry and wild berries joined by tobacco, anise and white pepper. The palate is finely structured, its soft-grained tannins and fresh acidity carrying the fruit with measured intensity. A long, savoury finish invites roast game birds, braised beef, mushroom risotto or aged mountain cheese.
