Wine Profile
Wine Profile / Tasting Notes
Bright ruby red colour that becomes garnet with the ageing. Intense scent of wine with a taste of raspberry and a light shade of violet. Armonic, sapid, elegant and persistent flavour.
Production Notes
Fermentation "a cappello sommerso" (cover submersion method) for about 10 days at a controlled temperature.
Winemaker Notes
Produced only with Nebbiolo grapes, locally called "Chiavennasca", and with local hystoric grapes as Pignola and Rossola. Efesto®, God of Fire, is the name we gave to our Valtellina Superiore D.O.C.G. Inferno of our production called "Vini degli Dei®". As established by the "rules for the disciplinary production" of Valtellina Superiore it must mature for at least 24 months in barrels, 12 of them in oak barrels before putting it on the market.
