They have their own set of aromas, wild berries, dried raspberries, flint, crushed granite and smoke, with a lively, focused purity from light, mineral infused grapes, some say they’re Pinot-esque. This is down to the poverty of the soil, essentially schist and granite, and the elevation of up to 700 meters above sea level resulting in fruit with intense minerality.

Nebbiolo has the starring role on the breathtakingly vertiginous slopes and currently accounts for 90% of Valtellina’s 850ha under vine. Planted predominantly in terraced, dry stone wall vineyards, Nebbiolo thrives in the area’s unique growing conditions. These include high altitude vineyards that are protected from strong winds and fierce storms by the Rhaetian Alps. The grape further benefits from mild breezes from Lake Como below and southern exposures that all together add up to a long growing season that generates aromatic complexity while rocky soils impart elegance and mineral sensations.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"western\" lang=\"en-US\" align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe results are graceful, fragrant reds that are naturally lighter on their feet and have lower alcohol levels than Barolo and Barbaresco but that feature depth, finesse and serious longevity.
