Rainoldi Valtellina Superiore Prugnolo 2016

Typical Nebbiolo aromas with pronounced hints of plum, cherry, and hazelnut. On the palate, it is full-bodied and mouth-filling and is an extremely well-balanced, elegant wine even in youth. This is a very versatile wine that can be paired with meat-based dishes and pastas.  Prugnolo is the Italian name of the Prunus Spinosa, or wild plum. This bush grows up close to the vineyards and its berries ripen close to harvest time. Grapes for this wine are grown at various altitudes, so they are harvested and vinified separately, depending on the altitude of the vineyard, allowing each grape to achieve its ideal ripeness.
