Tasting- La Mossa Valtellina Superiore

 


Name: La Perla La Mossa Valtellina Superiore

Variety: Nebbiolo

Region: Lombardy

Country: Italy

Year: 2015

Price: $27.95

Winery Review: "Red-berry, rose-petal, wet stone and menthol aromas form the fragrant nose, along with an earthy whiff of new leather. The chiseled, elegantly structured palate features spiced cranberry, juicy red cherry and dark spice framed in taut refined tannins and vibrant acidity. Drink 2021–2027." — Kerin O’Keefe (WineEnthusiast)

Wine Folly: Nebbiolo has delicate aromas and rigorous tannins. cherry, rose, leather, anise, clay pot. (page 141)

Cooler temperatures in Lombardy region result in herbal and floral notes and medium tannin. cranberry, hibiscus, peony, dried herbs, clove. (page 142)

My Review: I thought it was delicious. I got flavors of cherry, oak, and cardamon. Very easy to drink. Softer tannins than I anticipated. I would definitely drink this again! 

I did not taste this with food.
