Rainoldi - Prugnolo Valtellina Superiore 2018 Ml. 750
Winery Rainoldi
Characteristic
The company was foundede in 1925 by Aldo Rainoldi.
Wine-growing in the Valtellina is defintely a heroic feat; here Nebbiolo vineyards (locally also called Chiavannasca) practically cling onto impervious but optmally exposed slopes along north bank (Rhaetia side) of the valley.
The vines are cultivated exclusively by hand as, except for a few small gently sloping plots, it is practically impossible to use any form of mechanisation.
The characteristics of this wine derive from a particular processing method.
It is produced only in the best years and from a strict selection of grapes during the harvest.
Nebbiolo-grapes have been left to dry on mats for about 3 months.
The concentrations reached and aromas developed with the withering, make the wine rich in finesse and personality.
