Barbacan 2018 Fracia Valtellina Superiore Riserva
Italian Red
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.
Barbacàn 2019 Rosso di Valtellina
Italian Red
Clean and pure, with red berries, violet and alpine herbs carried by a cool mineral line. The palate is light on its feet yet firmly shaped, bringing fresh fruit, peppery spice and fine tannins into balance. Energetic rather than heavy, it closes savoury, stony and precise, with distinctly mountain-bred freshness.
Mamete Prevostini 2017 La Cruus Valtellina Superiore Inferno DOCG
Italian Red
Mamete Prevostini 2013 Corte di Cama Sforzato di Valtellina DOCG
Italian Red
Subtle vanilla, cedar and steeped prune open slowly, leading into dried black cherry, mocha, liquorice and star anise. The palate is dense and full-bodied, its concentrated fruit framed by close-grained tannins. Warmth builds without losing shape, carrying dark fruit and savoury spice through a long, composed finish.
