It can be consumed after only one year; it is fresh and lively, and
a typical wine to suit all meals. Ruby red in colour; a bouquet that
is frail and vinious; and, a taste that is fresh, harmonious, and lively.

Valtellina Superiore D.O.C.
Grumello 1994
This wine takes its name from the 11th century Castle located in the upper Valtellina sub-area of Lombardy. The 95% Nebbiolo and 5% other local grapes grown on the rocky terraces on the south facing mountain slopes are hand harvested in September/October, soft pressed, and undergo a traditional red wine vinification. Oak aged and released only after three years, this is a red wine of great personality with good body.
Ruby red tending to garnet in colour, it has a fine, persistent bouquet of hazelnuts; and a palate both velvety and harmonious. Best enjoyed at 18 to 200C with red meats, game, rich first courses as well as fairly ripe cheeses.

Valtellina D.O.C.
Sfursat 1989
The characteristics of this wine derive from a particular production method. Sfursat is in fact the result of making wine from 100% (Chiavennasca) Nebbiolo grapes picked in October that have been left to dry on mats until early December/January so that the sugar content is concentrated and a special harmonious taste is developed.
Deep garnet red in colour, it is an alcoholic wine, full, smooth, with an intense, complex bouquet, and should be drunk with roast dinner or, warmed in large glasses, sipped at the end of dinner as a wine for meditation.
A wine suitable for long ageing. Best consumed at 18 - 200C, 3 to 4 hours after being
opened.
