100% Chiavennasca (Nebbiolo) from various parcels in Valgella, the coolest and eastern-most subzone of Valtellina. A classic expression of Balgera’s winemaking style, combining native yeast fermentation with 25 days of maceration, and extended aging in cement, large slavonian oak, and bottle for over 15 years. Floral and earthy at the same time, this wine is stunning for its freshness, balance and finely grained tannins. A true classic of Valtellina.
