Valgella Vigna La Cornella Valtellina Superiore DOCG
Nebbiolo
A red wine of great character, produced using traditional winemaking methods from Nebbiolo (Chiavennasca) grapes harvested late in the season from the Cornella vineyard, owned by the Fratelli Bettini Winery and situated in a prime location within the Valgella production area.
Produced separately in exceptional vintages in numbered bottles, this wine resembles the Sforzato in character; it is not as high in alcohol but features distinctive aromas, a rounded palate, and a complex bouquet. Excellent with game, it is well-suited for long-term aging.
