A fair bit going on here, as you'd expect. It's complex material, from a complex producer, with the maturing bit done for you. How good! Layer upon layer of balsamic laden goodness. There's the sweet fruit that comes from a longer hang-time on the vine, the gamey, leathery stuff from bottle age and the move divine tannin structure, because it's Nebbiolo in safe hands. ABV: 13.5%

Old school production here. The Perego family trace their roots back to 1860 in these parts. We're in Valtellina, Lombardy, where the vines are grown on terraces built into ultra steep, east facing hills. Proper sun traps, and they need it, because it's properly continental here, with stupidly cold winters and chilly nights. All work is done by hand, with mechanisation on slopes like this practically impossible. Vinification and maturation are old time, favouring gentle extraction and long term maturation. The wines are often released with considerable age, having been given time to come together in bottle. Admirable stuff. An iconic producer in these parts, and all parts.
