Sandro Fay CARTERIA Valt. Sup. Riserva DOCG (2018) - Lombardia, Valtellina

THE GRAPE 
Chiavennasca (Nebbiolo).

THE WINE
Carteria is the finest cru of Fay's superb range of single vineyard Nebbiolo, made with a selection of the best Nebbiolo grape in the Carteria zone. Located at 450 metres above sea level, enjoy a cool climate and intense sunshine. The combo means the wine is intensely concentrated yet with a terrific backbone of elegant acidity. The nose opens with pronounced red berries, rose and spice. Fermented for 12 months in 30 Hl oak casks and 500 Lt barrels and aged another 15 months in a bottle before release.

THE PAIRING 
Excellent acidity and elegant tannins make this a fantastic wine for a variety of dishes whether it be Veal, chicken, or red pasta. We recommend opening this wine an hour before enjoying it.
