Tasting Notes(1)
4.2
Five years apart, the 2013 vintage remarkably feels fresher and younger than the 2018---a surprising contrast. The wine offers a beautiful nose with medicinal notes, blueberry, pickles, mushrooms, earth, late autumn floor, dried cherries, and rose petals. On the palate, it is juicy, chewy, rich, and long, albeit with a slightly shallow finish. Despite this, it remains a beautiful bottle, showcasing unique character and charm.
About
Dante's Sixth Canto describes the punishments inflicted on gluttons. The landscape is flailed by eternal rain and Cerberus barks horribly, baring his teeth, but Virgil silences him by filling his mouth with earth.
Here we are in the third circle, just as our vineyard, 450 metres above sea level, is on the third curve of the road known as the "Inferno Circuit". A circuit that saw Arturo many times racing, in the Valtellina Cup Rally. This was his other great passion and it inspired him to dream of an Inferno Riserva that would celebrate the power, the roaring sound and the discordant growl of a harsh land that leaves one speechless. In 2009 we decided that the time had come to make his dream come true: Valtellina Superiore Inferno Riserva Sesto Canto DOCG.
