2018 Rainoldi Valtellina Superiore Inferno Riserva Lombardy

Winemaker Notes: Wine produced only in the best vintages. Intense ruby red colour. On the nose, notes of small red fruits, spices, tobacco, thyme. In the mouth it is rich, dense with a persistent aftertaste. Particularly long-lived wine.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Vinous - "Rainoldi’s 2018 Valtellina Superiore Inferno Riserva is packed with macerated cherry, licorice, sweet spice, leather, orange zest and vanillin. There’s a bit of oak sweetness here, but it works quite well. This racy, inviting Inferno Riserva is pretty alluring. Drink it over the next decade or so. "


Wine Enthusiast - "Wild-rose aromas pour out of the bottle the moment you open it. As the wine develops, notes of red currants and sour cherries emerge followed by notes of bay leaf and thyme. The wine shifts gears on the palate with a focus on more savory notes hinting at medicinal herbs, oolong tea, dried lemon rind and then tart wild berries give the wine a lift on the finish with a zap of electric acidity.
