The 2007 Valtellina Superiore Riserva Sassella Rocce Rosse is another gorgeous creation from Ar. Pe. Pe. That two-year difference does come through when you taste this wine next to the other new releases from the 2009 vintage that I have also reviewed for this report. There are more tangible hints of the wine's evolution here with crushed stone, licorice and pressed rose. Don't get me wrong, there is plenty of fruit left here too, and I would argue that it shows with more brilliance and freshness in this wine from the Valtellina region compared to many Nebbiolo-based wines made at lower altitudes in Piedmont. Smoke, tar and redcurrant round off the focused, yet beautifully articulate mouthfeel. Some 17,000 bottles were produced.
