The wine
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
Sassella Riserva
Der Jahrgang
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.

Sandy clay, poor in humus and highly permeable. All these factors are favourable for aromas and preservation
