2023 Marco Ferrari Valtellina Superiore Inferno, Lombardy, Italy

Marco Ferrari is part of a new generation redefining Valtellina, crafting alpine Nebbiolo from the steep terraced vineyards of Lombardy after training with some of Europe’s most respected vignerons, including Thierry Allemand. Sourced from the historic Inferno cru, this mountain-grown Nebbiolo is fermented with native yeasts, whole clusters, and aged in neutral Rhône demi-muids to preserve purity and site expression. Wild strawberry, dried rose petal, blood orange, and forest floor unfold across a savory palate framed by fine tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long mineral finish that captures the energy and elegance of Valtellina’s dramatic alpine terroir.
