2020 Rainoldi, Valtellina Superiore, Grumello Nebbiolo Region_AndaluciaThe 2020 Rainoldi Valtellina Superiore Grumello is a precise iteration of alpine Nebbiolo, reflecting the producer's commitment to low intervention farming and high precision viticulture, including the use of the Simonit & Sirch pruning method to balance vine vigor. Sourced from south facing, silty sandy terraced vineyards at altitudes ranging from 350 to 600 meters, the fruit benefits from the significant diurnal shifts essential to the Grumello
