Made from \u003cstrong\u003eNebbiolo\u003c\/strong\u003e grapes (locally called Chiavennasca), it best expresses the characteristics of this noble mountain varietal: finesse, freshness, and a harmonious structure. The DOC denomination guarantees a deep connection with the territory, where the terraced vineyards of Valtellina offer an ideal microclimate for the production of well-balanced reds.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage details\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe 2019 vintage was characterized by a regular climate, with a cool spring and a sunny but not excessively hot summer. The harvest, which occurred about fifteen days later than average, allowed the grapes to ripen completely, yielding complex aromas and delicately mature tannins. The result is a wine with a balanced profile, distinguished by elegance and drinkability.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVinification and aging\u003c\/h3\u003e\nAfter harvesting, the Nebbiolo grapes undergo \u003cstrong\u003econtrolled fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e to preserve the purity of the fruit. This is followed by several weeks of \u003cstrong\u003emaceration\u003c\/strong\u003e on the skins, which allows for delicate extraction of color and aromas. Aging takes place in \u003cstrong\u003enew, lightly toasted oak barriques\u003c\/strong\u003e for approximately twelve months, followed by a period in chestnut barrels that gives the wine complexity and softness. Before commercial release, the wine rests for another ten months in the bottle, thus completing its harmonization process.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\nA red wine that captivates with its authenticity and its perfect balance between Valtellina tradition and a modern, clean style.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eColor\u003c\/h3\u003e\nVisually, the \u003cstrong\u003eRosso di Valtellina DOC 2019 - Plozza\u003c\/strong\u003e presents a \u003cstrong\u003ebrilliant ruby red color\u003c\/strong\u003e, with garnet reflections that anticipate its maturity and finesse.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNose\u003c\/h3\u003e\nOn the nose, it releases an intense and harmonious bouquet, where notes of small red fruits, cherry, and raspberry intertwine, followed by delicate spicy hints and sweet wood, a legacy of its barrique aging.
