From the Sassella commune in the Valtellina Superiore appellation, this lovely, elegant red is crafted entirely with the noble Nebbiolo grape. Reputed for producing the King of Italian wines (Barolo) and other high quality reds of Piemonte (Barbaresco, Roero…), this version of Nebbiolo from Lombardia is quite impressive at a much lower cost! Typical pale ruby/orangy colour, complex nose displaying ripe red cherry, some oak and charming forrest floor scents. Medium to full bodied, surprising velvety texture, well balanced with good length. Discover this superb version of Nebbiolo with ragu di cinghiale (wild boar ragu) pasta. Enjoy!
