Sandro Fay Rosso di Valtellina 'Tei' 2023

From the slopes of Valtellina which lies towards the Swiss border in the Lombardy region. 100% Chivanesca, the local name for Nebbiolo. A vibrant translucent red hue with floral, spice and candied red fruit. A bright acid line and very pristine fruit leading to great approachability without sacrificing on detail. Great value.

As is becoming more and more obvious, the wines of Valtellina, from good producers, are only getting better and better. Aided by a rise in annual temperatures and spurred on by fresh, mountain air blowing off the Alpes, wines such as this are a delight to drink. Showing impressive concentration for Nebbiolo grown at this sort of elevation (500-600m), is has enough flesh on the bone to provide immediate enjoyment, while some back-half austerity (inherent to Nebbiolo) provides structure and grippy tannin to close. A wide flavour spectrum from black cherry to dried pine needle sing true to the region which is become more and more talked about, and for good reason. - Ches Cook, FWC.
