CA' GUICCIARDI Valtellina Superiore DOCG Inferno
The Vineyard takes its name from the farmhouse situated at its heart. The hillside cru is distinctive for its little steep sided valleys. Sizeable rock faces alternate with terracing supported by some of the highest dry stone walls in Valtellina.The special colour of the rock tending towards a quartz like white augments considerably the power of the sun leading to greater temperatures and light than in other parts of the valley so bringing out the fruitiness of the wine. The 2021 vintage was characterized by a peculiar weather pattern, which began with a cold spring and low rainfall that resulted in a severe delay in the phenological development of the vine. The summer began with alternating hot and dry periods and cool and wet periods. Thanks to a constant water supply and ideal temperature ranges, Nebbiolo arrived at harvest in excellent ripening conditions.
Vigna Ca’ Guicciardi has an intense, bright red ruby colour , marked aromas of ripe red fruit with prevailing notes of black cherry, currant, spices ( liquorice , cloves and cinnamon) and dried violet; the warmth and light during ripening produce round and rich tannins on the palate.
Red roast meat, lamb, kid, game, mature cheeses.
