Ascesa 'Murunèe' Rosso di Valtellina Superiore Riserva DOCG, 2020

Ascesa 'Murunèe' Rosso di Valtellina Superiore Riserva DOCG, 2020

Regular price $102.00

bresThis wine is made of 100% Nebbiolo (locally Chiavennasca) grown on steep, high-altitude terraces approaching 700 meters, contributing both structure and alpine freshness. In the glass, it shows a deeper, more evolved profile than the Rosso bottlings, with aromas of dried cherry, rose, orange peel, and alpine herbs layered over notes of tobacco, spice, and a subtle smoky minerality. The palate is firm and structured, with finely knit tannins, vibrant acidity, and a लंब, savory finish—balancing power and elegance with the lifted precision typical of mountain Nebbiolo. Best suited to richer, slow-cooked dishes like braised beef, game, or lamb along with porcini-based preparations and aged alpine cheeses, where the wine’s tannin and acidity cut through fat while echoing earthy, umami flavors.
