| Description: | Wine Advocate 93 Points - "Fruit for this wine comes from the high altitudes of the Rhaetian Alps, where decomposed granite soils make for a dark contrast against brilliant white ice and snow falls. The Ar. Pe. Pe. 2015 Valtellina Superiore Nebbiolo Grumello Rocca de Piro reveals a long succession of dried raspberry, cassis, pressed violets, iron ore and crushed stone. This wine promises to make a terrific pairing with a simple plate of thinly sliced Valtellina bresaola.". The Valtellina is welded onto the Alps along the most northern area of Italy, in Lombardy not far from Milan and the famous Lakes District. Here youll find some of the most exciting and expressive Nebbiolo wines in the world. Chiavennasca is the name given to the light, aromatic interpretation of Nebbiolo grown here. These are alpine wines, with vineyards growing along perilously steep slopes. Optimism and heroics are needed in equal measure when making wine here. The familys 2015 Grumello Superiore vintage of Rocca de Piro is delicious. This medium-bodied red is soft and supple on the palate, with a rush of ripe cherry, tobacco, anise and balsamic notes, and some spiciness on the finish. Acidity and tannins are nicely balanced, making this a joy to drink today and has longevity in your cellar. |
