IGT of Valtellina (Alpine Lombardy, renamed Alpi Retiche in 2017), heroic vineyards on terraces on the steep slopes of the Rhaetian Alps. Chiavennasca signature red king (local name for Nebbiolo, >=85%): aerial and taut with red cherry, raspberry, faded rose, undergrowth, alpine spices and mineral touch, fine tannins and high acidity — softer alternative to Valtellina Superiore DOCG. Pignola and Rossola indigenous as complement. Alpine Nebbiolo.
Austere, noble reds, pale in colour and quick to turn garnet, with powerful tannins and high acidity, showing aromas of sour cherry, faded rose, tar, white truffle, leather and balsamic notes with age. Outstanding ageing potential. Absolute star of Piedmont with Barolo DOCG and Barbaresco DOCG, also in Roero, Gattinara, Ghemme and Valtellina (Chiavennasca). A late-ripening Italian variety among the world's greatest.
