The 2016 Valtellina Superiore Riserva Carterìa is bright, focused and tightly wound. Bright acids and veins of tannin wrap around a core of red/purplish fruit. I would give the 2016 a few years to soften, as it is a bit unyielding at this stage. Still, the translucent expression of Nebbiolo is quite appealing.
