This one’s a little exotic and will place Soave and Chardonnay drinkers in a different corner of heaven. There’s some texture and almond but it’s kept light and refreshing thanks to some lime leaf. So good with afternoon risotto.

Cantina Colli Morenici Custoza White Blend 2022

Arpepe Valtellina Superiore Sassella Riserva Rocce Rosse 2016

Nebbiolo leads the charge in this blend which uses grapes from the Sega family's vineyards in Valtellina, a valley in Italy's Lombardy region bordering Switzerland. Vineyards in this region practically hug the Alps, making for very chilly nighttime temperatures, yet toasty daytime temperatures paired with Lake Como's unique, warm winds make for interesting growing conditions indeed! The resulting wine gives us cool alpine characters and qualities that are distinct to Nebbiolo grown in this region.

Barbacan Rosso di Valtellina 2021

Nebbiolo from the rugged, mountainous region of Valtellina is really having a moment right now, and it's not difficult to see why. Maria Luisa's entry-level Neb is charmingly youthful and rustic, with dusty cherry, a smidge of tar and fresh alpine herbs.

Marchetti Maria Luisa Tupìch Rosso di Valtellina 2018

Concentrated red cherry, with black plum and firm tannins. This wine is long and whilst drinking beautifully now has ageing potential.

Barbacan Valtellina Superiore Livel Nebbiolo 2016

Nebbiolo leads the charge in this blend which uses grapes from the Sega family's vineyards in Valtellina, a valley in Italy's Lombardy region bordering Switzerland. Aged for 12 months in oak before being bottled. Lovely complexity, red fruit, dried herbs, and a lovely melody of minerality and smooth tannins. A lovely example of Valtellina Superiore.
