Valtellina Superiore DOCG are among Lombardy's most prestigious wines. The vineyards for the Tenuta Scerscé "Essenza" Valtellina Superiore DOCG are fragmented throughout Teglio and Villa diTirano, planted on rock terraces, some of which were constructed over centuries ago. Often less than one acre in size, the plants are positioned in the traditional "rittochino" method which connect eachvineyard through stone stairs. "Essenza" Valtellina Superiore is 100% Nebbiolo (Chiavennasca) fermented in stainless steel and aged in second passed 50 HL oak casks for 24 months. The wineexhibits the "essence" of Valtellina - a great harmony between tannic structure, fruit and freshness.
