Spanna, the local name for Nebbiolo, is a grape of terrior. The Vallana families estate vineyards are located in Alto Piedmont, at the base of the Alps where typical characteristics produce aromatic Nebbiolo. This special cuvee honoring the founder of the house, Bernardo Vallana, is a blend of Nebbiolo grapes from the winery’s best lots in Boca and Gattinara; a rich, full-bodied red, this wine is drinking well now but has the pedigree for long aging.
