Nino Negri Alpi Retiche Bianco IGT (Nebbiolo vinified in bianco) 2020

Vines growing on the slopes of Valtellina exposed to the sun and which, thanks to the south-south west aspect and an altitude of between 350 and 600 metres above sea level, ripen slowly consequently creating much richer and delicate aromas. The hand-picked Nebbiolo grapes are vinified in white, after which fermentation takes place. Once completed the wine is racked and left on fine lees for some months. This long contact with fine lees increases the aromatic complexity while softening the wine and giving succulence on the palate. Ageing takes place only in steel, with no contact at all with oxygen so developing tertiary aromas which make the wine more complex and able to age for a long time. Straw yellow colour with light gold highlights; a delicate but distinct aroma with fragrant notes of green apple, lemon, toasted bread, honey and white fleshy fruit; dry and fresh on the palate, with a pleasant flavoursome mineral finish.
