Valtellina Superiore DOCG “MR72” Riserva 2018

This exceptional wine is made from 100% Nebbiolo, locally known as Chiavennasca, and represents the pinnacle of wine production in the region.

The grapes for this wine are cultivated in the highest vineyards. Specifically, in the vineyards of Dossi Salati and Berbenno di Valtellina, the vines benefit from a south-facing exposure, bathing the grapevines in altitudes ranging from 350 to 520 meters above sea level.

After an extended maceration period of about 30 days, the wine rests briefly in stainless steel tanks before embarking on a long maturation journey in small oak barrels. The winemaker then carefully selects the best barrel for long-term aging to ensure a long life in the bottle.

The wine reveals itself with an impressive ruby color, adorned with garnet reflections. Its aroma is expansive, disclosing notes of ripe fruits and dried roses, followed by a fascinating interplay of spices and evolving nuances. The taste is rounded and persistent, with tannins that are both present and velvety.

However, the wine has only just begun its development, and its potential will continue to unfold over time. To fully enjoy its splendor, it should be served at a temperature of 18°C.
