Rivetti & Lauro Ui Inferno 117 is a great Valtellina wine made from Nebbiolo. Nebbiolo is a grape most associated with Barolo, but the Valtellina makes fantastic wines with this grape, that tend to be a little fruitier and more accessible. This delicious wine has a complex nose, with black cherry and vanilla notes, and a full, smooth, velvety palate with structured tannins which gives it great ageing potential. A lovely alternative to Barolo, and a great option for Christmas dinner!
Rivetti & Lauro is a dream come true. The Valtellina is a mountainous area with vineyards planted on terraces where everything is done manually, including harvesting, and in these mountains Rivetti & Lauro, two friends, decided to follow their dream and passion and making wine. The Nebbiolo is their main grape, Nebbiolo is a great grape that gives its best on these extreme climates, vinified in red and white, but are slowly introducing new grapes to be blended with the Nebbiolo to produce even more outstanding wines.
