We are happy to share the excellent scores that renowned winemaker James Suckling awarded to our entire range of wines.
- CRISTINA SCARPELLINI Valtellina Superiore Valgella Riserva DOCG 2018 – Score: 93
“Some sweet-vanilla notes now to the savory oranges, tar and cranberries- A full-bodied nebbiolo that feels expansive, yet it’s ethereal on the palate with lots of firm, sandblasted tannins. Long and juicy. Need two years to allow the tannins and the oak to integrate more. Will shine with time. Drink from 2024”. - INFINITO Sforzato di Valtellina DOCG 2018 – Score: 92
“Licorice with sweet, candied strawberries, spice box and creme de cassis. A very flavorful nebbiolo with a brighter palate than the nose, rounded by creamy, dusty tannins ina firm, slightly austere setting. Drink now or hold”. - ESSENZA Valtellina Superiore DOCG 2018 – Score: 92
“Savory and intense nose with dried plums, funk, oranges, dark licorice and black earth. Some balsamic notes, too. A fluid, medium-bodied palate, marked by dusty tannins and juicy, earthy and mushroomy flavors on the palate. Firm, textured and chalky. Lovely nebbiolo austerity here. Not one for meek palates, though. Drink or hold”. - FLAMMANTE Valtellina Superiore Inferno DOCG 2019 – Score: 92
“A nebbiolo that shows lots of Mediterranean spices and herbs, together with strawberries, dried earth and minerals. A mediumn-bodied, textured palate, showing dried-herb savoriness on the transparent but austere center-palate. Firm, savory and dry. Drink or hold”. - INCANTO Valtellina Superiore Sassella DOCG 2019 – Score: 92
“Savory, earthy wet leaves, cranberries and iron on the nose. A very svelte, nimble nebbiolo with elegant berries and a linear palate. Silky and supple tannins for a nebbiolo. Dry and subtle. Drink now”. - NETTARE Rosso di Valtellina DOC 2019 – Score: 91
“Wet leaves, cranberries, dried red cherries and savory, earthy notes on the nose. A linear nebbiolo with some white pepper and grilled herbs on the palate. Firm tannains, but not austere. Drink now”.
