Description
Still red, 13% ABV, produced by La Spia in Lombardy. Grapes from managed vineyards in the municipalities of Mello, Berbenno, and Chiuro. 2023 vintage. A wine born from a passion for the Valtellina region and a desire to experiment. Aged in semi-new barriques for 8 to 12 months. Maturation in wood allows for good stabilization of the color and gives the wine structure and pleasant, light, and velvety tannins. The aromatic fragrance encourages immediate drinking. Don't be intimidated by the screw cap; it guarantees flawless aging in the bottle. Innovative, unconventional!

From these vineyards, the increasingly careful selection of Chiavennasca (Nebbiolo) pushed the company to separate the different types of grapes. Read more
