The wine

Made from our very own Nebbiolo grapes harvested from the ventilated and sunny area of Sassella, with its tiny plots on bare rock, Sassella is our rich and structured red wine.

Tasting Notes
Ruby red tending towards garnet; characteristic hints of small fruits like raspberry, as well as violet and dog rose; on the palate it is dry and austere, with just the right amount of tannicity, robust, with typical hazelnut and dried plum hints

Serving suggestions

Ideal served with pasta and first courses, meats and cheeses

The vintage

The 2022 vintage in Valtellina was marked by challenging climatic conditions, with a particularly hot and dry summer affecting the production. Starting from May, the lack of water put the vines under stress, resulting in a yield reduction of about 10-15% compared to the previous year. Despite the difficulties, the grape quality was generally good, thanks to effective phytosanitary management that minimized damage from fungal diseases. The high temperatures and an early harvest contributed to good grape ripening, although the water shortage made the harvesting process more challenging​.
