The red wine “Prugnolo” Valtellina Superiore from Cantina Rainoldi is named after the “Prunus Spinosa,” a decorative shrub that grows near the vineyards and whose blue berries ripen in autumn, coinciding with the harvest period. Made from the noble Nebbiolo grape, “Prugnolo” is a structured and full-bodied wine, crafted from carefully selected grapes from the terraces of Valtellina Superiore. It undergoes a pre-fermentation cryo-maceration lasting about 60 hours, followed by controlled-temperature maceration with continuous pumpover. The wine then matures for approximately twelve months in small oak barrels previously used for Sfursat Fruttaio Ca’ Rizzieri. Afterward, it is blended in stainless steel tanks and aged in bottle for at least 9 months before being released.
