Vite Colte Valdolmo

An elegant, sandy-soil Nebbiolo from low-limestone vineyards; the estate's own materials disagree on its exact denomination and ageing (see flags).

Tasting notes

Colour: ruby red. Bouquet: very fine and delicate, with notes of red fruits. Palate: well balanced, with a silky tannic texture leading to a persistent finish.
