Sandro Fay 2021 Valtellina Superiore 'Costa Bassa'

Delicate Nebbiolo from the alpine slopes of Valtellina, where Sandro Fay is a leading producer. From a family inspired by Barolo, the Fay’s employ a regimen of lengthy macerations and aging in large cask. The Costa Bassa is long vineyard in the Valgella area, where local Nebbiolo is grown along terraced vineyards on dry soils. This wine has a generous bouquet of dried wildflowers, polished strawberry and that just-rained rock minerality.
