2018 Caven “Tellino" Terrazze Retiche di Sondrio

Lombardy, Italy

Mostly Chiavennasca (aka Nebbiolo) with small amounts of Pignola and Rossola. This is the entry level wine from Caven and is meant to be drunk young, and also a great alternative to Langhe Nebbiolo. Silky tannins envelop the palate with juicy strawberry, soft cherry, ripe cranberry, hints of spice, flowers, tobacco and dark compost.
