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

Like the previous year, the 2021 wine year in Valtellina was characterized by persistent rainfall, which forced us to be very vigilant about plant protection. However, with a lot of time, great efforts and rigorous selection in the vineyard, we were able to bring in grapes of excellent quality. From an enological point of view, the wet vintage meant that the grapes produced a fresh and fruity must, as in 2020, which opens up interesting prospects for a very pleasant wine.
