Another wine sampled at NY Tre Bicchieri event:
Coming from Valtellina, in Lombardia, Italy and made from 100% Chiavennasca grapes which are left to dry for 3 months before vinification, this wine is aged in stainless steel tanks and then for 20 months in large Slavonian oak barrels.
Rich garnet red in color with a slight minerality prefaces notes of cherries, plums, spices and black pepper on the nose, followed by a palate expressing warmth and full body. A flood of resinous flavors follow with hints of licorice, finishing with a nutty polished veneer.
