  Better than expected based on other reviews. Light ruby color, nose of strawberry, Raspberry. Light body, good acidity. More strawberry and other red fruit on the palate. Surprisingly structured.

  Light ruby.
  Fresh light rose and strawberry cranberry fruit with a touch of orange. This is absolutely delightful, light but quite serious. Tireless drinking

  Interesting how mixed the reviews are. I enjoyed the heck out of this. Elegant, clean, fresh. Lovely orange notes. Perhaps not the best that Nebbiolo can be, but still delicious.

  Very high acid and required several hours to open up. Some rose hips and bright red fruit, but not much complexity and disappointing compared to other Valtellina wines I’ve tried such as Ar.Pe.Pe.

  Nebbiolo has such beautiful properties but it’s intense and usually needs the defense of a ribeye or something equivalent. If you love quieter wines, and if you love the flavors and aroma of Nebbiolo, Inferno is for you.
  
  It has the salts and minerality of Etna and the musty dusty fruit of Piedmont. It’s cool with dark cherries and roses and old leather. Extremely moderate tannins all considering.
