Only made in the best vintages, the 2013 Valtellina Superiore Sassella Riserva is a beautifully elegant expression of Chiavennasca (or Nebbiolo) that shines bright from deep inside. The wine glides over the palate with a silky, glossy approach. It reveals delicate aromas of white cherry, dried cranberry and wild rose. The tannins and the acidity are both seamlessly integrated within the wine's mid-weight texture. Some 23,172 750-milliliter bottles, 400 magnums and 31 double magnums were produced in this vintage.

Sweet fruit flavors of dried cherry and date meet savory herbed olive, Marcona almond and woodsy smoke notes, creating an aromatic profile framed by tangy acidity and light, creamy tannins. A hint of dried rose wafts on the finish. Drink now through 2023. 30 cases imported.??–AN??Region: Italy / Valtellina Superiore Select to Add
