Why buy it: because it is a wine which, reflecting the characteristics of the area from which it comes, has an intense aroma, deriving from the perfect combination of fruity and floral notes. Vibrant to the sip, being a Nebbiolo, but at the same time characterized by roundness and softness. The ideal product to "approach" Valtellina and its wines.
