Valtellina Superiore Grumello DOCG 2018 Luca Faccinelli: The Essence of the Alps in a Glass

The Valtellina Superiore Grumello DOCG 2018 is the expression of the passion and dedication of Luca Faccinelli, a winemaker who has chosen to transform his life and dedicate himself completely to the art of wine. This pure Nebbiolo comes from old terraced vineyards located in the Dossi Salati area, in the highest part of the Grumello sub-area, at an altitude of 650 meters above sea level. The mountain territory and the extreme slopes of up to 70% make this wine an authentic representation of the bond between man and nature.

The wine matures in oak barrels and subsequently refines in French oak barriques, acquiring an aromatic complexity and a unique structure. Valtellina Superiore Grumello Tell is a wine capable of transporting those who taste it to the heart of the Alps, offering a drinking experience that combines freshness, warmth and dynamism. Ideal to accompany dishes based on red meat and medium-aged cheeses, it is perfect for those looking for a refined but easy-to-approach wine.

Its ability to recall fruity and floral notes, combined with balsamic and mentholated nuances, makes it an extremely versatile and pleasant wine, suitable both for a convivial dinner and for more intimate and attentive tasting moments.
