Introduction
From the alpine terroir of Valtellina in Lombardy, Italy, La Perla di Marco Triacca "La Mossa" is a premium Nebbiolo-based wine (locally called Chiavennasca). This Valtellina Superiore DOCG captures the elegance and complexity of mountain-grown Nebbiolo, with vibrant acidity and refined tannins typical of wines from this distinctive high-altitude region.
Appearance
Brilliant garnet red with a slight orange rim, showcasing some maturity and the varietal character of Nebbiolo.
Nose
Aromas of red cherry, wild raspberry, and dried rose petals are at the forefront, supported by delicate earthy undertones and a hint of spice, such as white pepper and a trace of cedar from oak aging.
Palate
Medium-bodied with bright acidity, the palate offers flavors of red currant, sour cherry, and cranberry. These fresh fruit notes are complemented by nuances of leather, dried herbs, and a subtle minerality. Silky tannins give it structure and elegance, while maintaining a light, alpine freshness.
Finish
A long, delicate finish with lingering notes of red fruit, mineral nuances, and a slight hint of dried flowers, leaving a clean and refreshing impression.
Overall Impression
"La Mossa" is a refined and balanced expression of Valtellina Nebbiolo, showcasing both power and finesse. Its structure and elegance make it an excellent companion for classic Italian dishes, such as risotto, mushroom-based dishes, and mild cheeses. The wine is enjoyable now but has aging potential to develop further complexity.
