Regular price $32.00

This wine is made of 100% Nebbiolo. Named after the Greek God Vesper, the personification of the evening star. The terraced vineyards for this wine are located just outside the Convento at an average elevation of 500 meters, and are bathed in sunlight from dawn to dusk. This is a youthful, juicy, and pleasant Nebbiolo with plenty of fresh cherry fruit and rosy aromatics. Pair it with smoked brisket sliders.

Details

From our Importer: The Convento San Lorenzo is the most imposing architectural feature of the landscape of Sassella, perhaps the most famed sub zone of the Valtellina. The geological features are impressive enough, but this fortress-like convent crowning Sassella's highest mountain is, well.. just an impressive sight to behold.The massive structure from 1100 AD , sits above 600 M ASL with the steep, stone-terraced, Nebbiolo vineyards cascading down towards the valley floor in front of it. Twenty some years ago, Mamete Prevostini took control of the vineyards and did major work in re-orienting rows, replanting etc. The 7.5 hectares that surround the convent are now mature enough and Mamete has launched a separate company from the Prevostini label, devoted just to this project at the top of his quality pyramid. These wines are Valtellina grace and elegance defined. I feel honored that he felt the right home for this project is Artisan Wines.
