WINE DESCRIPTION
Fratelli Bettini Rosso di Valtellina is a tannic, savory red wine hailing from the Valtellina region, located within the Lombardy region of northern Italy. The wine is composed mostly from Nebbiolo, known locally as Chiavennasca, well known for giving highly-structured wines with hauntingly perfumed aromatics. The vineyards are located on the softer sloping and rocky areas of Retica banks tending to producing lighter styles. This Rosso di Valtellina is a superb alternative to the wines from the neighbouring region of Piedmont.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Fratelli Bettini Rosso di Valtellina presents a pale ruby color with faint garnet reflections.On the nose, this wine offers enticing aromas of tart red berries, such as cherry and raspberry, along with floral notes of violet and rose. There may also be hints of earthiness and spice.
When it comes to taste, Fratelli Bettini's Rosso di Valtellina showcases a medium-bodied profile with muscular tannins that frame the flavors of tart red fruits. The firm core of refreshing acidity and underlying minerality leave a lasting impression.

ORIGINS
Winery: Fratelli Bettini
Region: Lombardy
Lombardy is a region in the north of Italy, located in the foothills of the Alps. With a long history of winemaking, Lombardy is one of the most prolific wine regions in Italy, producing a wide range of styles from sparkling to still wines.
The history of winemaking in Lombardy dates back to the Roman Empire, when the region was known as Cisalpine Gaul. During this period, the Romans planted vineyards and developed winemaking techniques that are still used today. In the Middle Ages, Lombardy was an important center of winemaking, with many monasteries producing wine for religious ceremonies. In the 19th century, Lombardy was one of the first regions in Italy to embrace modern winemaking techniques, such as the use of oak barrels and the introduction of new grape varieties.CUSTOMER RATING
