Le Strie vineyards are located in the Valtellina Superiore DOCG vine-growing area. Due to the altitude, the temperatures are cooler which results in a very elegant Nebbiolo with elegant spicy notes and a medium tannin. The terraces on which the vines grow and the steep slope exposure that they receive give this Nebbiolo very interesting characteristics making this a variety that you will surely want to savour.

For the best way to experience this fabulous appellation, we recommend a serving temperature of 18°C and to use big stem glasses in order for its true nature to express itself. Ideally, use a decanter to avoid the deposit that you may find at the bottom but this will also allow the wine to breathe. These are wines that age with grace and character.

Most of Le Strie grapes come from their vineyards in Sassella and Valgella but some also come from a small vineyard in the Commune of Berbenno which has wonderful exposure. These are handpicked at the end of October. No oak barrels are used to allow for spontaneous fermentation with natural yeasts, and with only 7 days of maceration, the aim is to get a very traditional, fresh and minerally wine.

The result is a fruity ruby red wine with flavours of cherries, raspberries, and blackberries. It is dry, slightly tannic, with a long finish.
