Description:

In the glass, it displays an elegant ruby ​​red with garnet hues. The bouquet is broad and complex, with notes of ripe red berries, particularly blackberry and cherry, enriched with hints of sweet spices, tobacco, and undergrowth. The typical floral component of Nebbiolo is expressed with notes of dried rose and violet. On the palate, it displays a substantial yet balanced structure, with refined tannins and a well-integrated freshness. The finish is long and persistent, characterized by an elegant return of red berries and spices, with a distinctive mineral note.

This wine represents the essence of Dirupi's production and that of the Valtellina Superiore. The grapes come from historic vineyards cultivated on characteristic terraces supported by dry stone walls, where Nebbiolo thrives thanks to the glacial soils and optimal southern exposure, which guarantee perfect grape ripening.
