The Valmaggiore site, gently sloping and rich in light-coloured, sandy soil, was already noted in old 19th century maps as being particularly suitable for Nebbiolo. Its exposure allows for optimal ripening without losing the fine, almost dance-like style that makes this wine so unmistakable. A Valmaggiore that is already inspiring today with its animating style and at the same time will richly reward patience and bottle ageing.

Bright ruby red with a youthful lustre. The bouquet is fresh and radiant: redcurrants, sour cherries, violets and a hint of orange zest. Delicate on the palate, but with a precise core – fine-grained tannins and lively acidity carry the juicy fruit. The cool nights of the 2023 vintage emphasise the freshness, while the long, clear finish reveals the potential for elegant development. SUPERIORE.DE

"A tiny vineyard of one hectare yields this firm, medium-bodied red wine with racy tannins, dark chocolate, iodine and dried strawberries. Creamy and chewy at the same time. Juicy too." James Suckling
