Grumello Ris Buon Consiglio Valtellina Superiore, 2016

Mountain Nebbiolo from steep Alpine terraces on the Swiss border - all the perfume of Barolo, but lighter and silkier than the label's weight suggests.

Nebbiolo from the Alps, grown on steep stone terraces near the Swiss border by the Pelizzatti Perego family. Cherry, dried flowers, mint and a twist of orange peel, with soft, fine tannin and a salty finish. It drinks lighter and silkier than you might expect, and opens up with a few minutes in the glass.
