2017 vintage. FLB fodder. Decanted and tasted after 15 mins, 45 mins and 1.25 hours. Medium body. Fairly muddy color. A parlor trick of rose petals and tar up front with a battle to the death, both mid and end palates, between chalk and dark chocolate. Chalk won. Not what I would call refined but made up for that with plenty of rusticity/old school/authenticity vibes. Apparently, I liked it more than anyone else here but a bonus .2 for the retro-stylings.

Convento San Lorenzo – Vesper Rosso di Valtellina / Nebbiolo / 2021
Valtellina DOC – Lombardy, Italy 🇮🇹

Overview
A fresh and vibrant 100% Nebbiolo crafted from the sun-soaked terraced vineyards of Valtellina, one of Italy’s northernmost winegrowing regions. This alpine setting gives Nebbiolo a lighter, more graceful expression than its Piedmont cousins.

Aromas & Flavors
Juicy red cherries, wild strawberries, and rose petals, lifted by subtle herbal and mineral notes.

Mouthfeel
Light-bodied yet structured, with lively acidity and smooth, fine tannins that glide across the palate.

Food Pairings
Bresaola, smoked brisket sliders, or a rustic spread of charcuterie.

Verdict
Pop, pour, and enjoy, this is Nebbiolo at its most approachable and charming, with no need for cellaring.

Did You Know?
Valtellina is one of the few places outside Piedmont where Nebbiolo thrives, locally called Chiavennasca. Its terraced vineyards, carved into steep alpine slopes, are UNESCO-recognized for their cultural heritage.

@Benjamin Keator had his hosting at the CC tonight and it was absolutely incredible. What a night of gorgeous wines! All wines are guessed blind.

This dessert wine is about the same age as my Dad. When you can associate a wine/vintage personally, it really opens your eyes to how wine can hold. This is undoubtedly Pedro Ximenez, which I guessed. It reminds me of a non-vintage port with a balsamic mix to it. Tons of black licorice, old brown sugar, and the aforementioned balsamic vinaigrette note. Incredible for the age. — 8 years ago

Very nice. It’s fairly simple. but dark fruit w maybe some licorice. Decent tannins. I would say a medium to med-lite body. Slightly flabby esp at finish. But decent balance. Good value. Really like these Italian mountain wines. (Very different review vs my first time!) — 6 years ago
