Made from our very own Nebbiolo grapes harvested in the Upper Valtellina subarea, nestled between the Municipality of Castione Andevenno and the area west of Sondrio, Sassella Riserva is our intense and robust red wine.
Tasting Notes
Ruby red tending towards garnet; characteristic hints of small fruits like raspberry, as well as floral violet and dog rose notes; on the palate it is dry, austere and robust, with typical hazelnut and dried plum hints
Serving suggestions
Ideal served with first courses, meats and cheeses
A memorable year due to a mild and rainy spring that gave rise to a perfect growth cycle, followed by a dry summer that enabled the healthy and excellent ripening of grapes.
Under such circumstances, agronomic interventions and phytosanitary protection implemented in the autumn led to results that surpassed all expectations, culminating in what could be defined as one of the best vintages of the century.
Terrain Composition
Sandy clay, poor in humus and highly permeable. All these factors are favourable for aromas and preservation
