A floral, fragrant white wine made from the red-skinned Rossola and Pignolo grapes in the hills of Valtellina made by Conti Sertoli Salils.

Some vineyards in Valtellina specialize in the local varieties of red-skinned grapes such as Rossola and Pignola, appreciated for their aromatic delicacy.
These grapes must be picked at the correct moment of maturity to create a wine with floral and fruity perfumes.
The grapes are pressed very gently, and the must remains in contact with the skins for eight to ten hours to obtain the first aromatic extraction
Then a part of the must is allowed to rest for a long time in its own yeasts, while the rest is fermented directly in barriques. Before bottling, the two parts are assembled to increase the harmony and fullness of flavour.
This wine is distinguished by an aromatic delicacy, and can be enjoyed both when young and after several years’ ageing in the bottle.
It has a fragrant, aromatic nose and soft acidity, with delicious red fruit flavours, which come unexpectedly, due to the pale colour of the wine.
