Sandro Fay Valtellina Superiore Valgella DOCG 2021

This ethereal expression of Nebbiolo (also called Chiavennasca) opens with rich density and ripe fruit intensity. Primary hints of rose and violet are combined with evolved but delicate nuances of sweet spices, tobacco and cocoa in a soft, clean and full-bodied taste, with an energetic and persistent freshness. Pretty tones of cola, dried ginger and licorice round out the back and the wine is fresh and well-structured overall with firm, drying tannins.

100% Nebbiolo (Chiavennasca) with Guyot and Sylvoz valtellinese trellis style from the Valgella, Municipality of Teglio. This wine strongly expresses territoriality. The vineyards are situated under 450 meters, with southern exposure, on sandy and silty soil. The microclimate of this area develops a thinner skin of the grape and reduced acidity and tannins for immediate drinkability. 

Alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tank; malolactic fermentation and aging for 12 months in large oak casks. Dull garnet red color. The nose shows hints of red fruit, mainly cherry and raspberry, with notes of rose petals. In the mouth it has a medium body, great aromatic agility which also includes fruity aromas, tannins are light as well as acidity.
