Valtellina - Superiore - Baitèi - Radìs

The Valtellina Superiore "Baitèi" by Radìs is an elegant, highly distinctive red wine born in the heart of Valtellina, one of Italy's most fascinating wine-growing regions. Here, terraced vineyards cultivated on the steep Alpine slopes and supported by ancient dry-stone walls yield grapes of extraordinary quality, giving rise to wines that express all the authenticity of Alpine Nebbiolo, locally called Chiavennasca.

The "Baitèi" cuvée represents the deep bond between the producer and the land, highlighting a unique terroir characterized by soils rich in sand and granite, an Alpine climate tempered by sun exposure, and significant temperature variations. These conditions give the wine elegance, freshness, and pronounced minerality.

In the glass, it displays a brilliant ruby red tending toward garnet with age. The nose offers an intense, refined bouquet, with aromas of cherry, raspberry, redcurrant, and rose petals, accompanied by elegant notes of spices, Alpine herbs, licorice, and delicate balsamic nuances.

On the palate, it is fine, harmonious, and structured, with silky tannins that are perfectly integrated and lively freshness that provides balance and lift. The finish is long, savory, and mineral, an authentic expression of Valtellina's heroic viticulture.

A highly elegant, age-worthy wine, ideal with Valtellina pizzoccheri, red meats, braised dishes, game, mushrooms, roasts, and aged cheeses.
