What kind of wine is Valtellina Superiore Inferno Riserva DOCG 2019 - Aldo Rainoldi?
The Valtellina Superiore Inferno Riserva DOCG 2019 - Aldo Rainoldi is a mountain red wine made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes, locally known as Chiavennasca. The "Inferno" designation identifies one of the most famous and striking sub-zones of Valtellina Superiore DOCG, characterized by steep slopes and mineral-rich soils that impart strength, structure, and an unmistakable character to the wine. It is an elegant yet decisive red, with a harmonious body and a lively personality, perfect for those seeking a wine that genuinely expresses its land.Vintage Details
The 2019 vintage was marked by balanced climatic conditions, with sunny days and cool nights. These conditions allowed the Nebbiolo grapes to ripen slowly, developing fine aromas and perfectly balanced tannins. The result is a particularly harmonious vintage, where the fruit is accompanied by a pleasant mineral freshness, a distinctive sign of Valtellina wines.Winemaking and Aging
After manual harvesting of the grapes, winemaking involves traditional fermentation with maceration on the skins to naturally extract color and aromas. Aging takes place in first-pass French oak barriques for several months, followed by a period in the bottle that completes its elegant profile.
