More spurtleklick from TheBloodyPulpit:
1. Pretty blown away by the Weinbach. Definitely of the VT level, but reasonably priced.
The Nebbs of Arturo Pelizzatti were the first wines that made me a lover of Valtelline wines back in the early '70's. Unfortunately, his family sold the family name to Nino Negri & I didn't think they were up to snuff of the original wines. Haven't seen a Pelezzatti wines in quite a few yrs. It's now merely a Negi brand label. The original wnry was resurrected under the Ar.Pe.Pe name and are now some of the best Nebbs from the Valtelline. But expensive.
