2018 Nino Negri Vigna Francia

Nino Negri is the best winery in the Lombardy region of Italy. It aint even all that close.  They have their own clone of Nebbiolo called Chiavennasca and have single handedly elevated the sub-region of Valtellina along the Swiss border to the world stage. 

"Fresh flower, strawberry and mushroom aromas follow through to a medium body, with round tannins and tangy acidity. Candied oranges to the plummy fruit. Drinkable now, but even better in a year or two." 94 Points, James Suckling
