Tasting notes

Ruby red, taking on orange hints with age. An ethereal bouquet of dried hazelnut and withered rose. Full-bodied, with light, well-balanced tannins and toasted, candied spice.

About this wine

Sassella is the Valtellina Superiore subzone between Castione Andevenno and the western edge of Sondrio, where the vines grow on stone terraces with very little soil and often root into the walls. Conti Sertoli Salis makes it from 95% Nebbiolo (Chiavennasca) with a little Pignola, Rossola and Brugnola.

The grapes macerate on the skins for 15 to 20 days at 28-30 °C, and the wine ages two years in oak barrels and about three months in bottle. Ruby red, turning orange with age, it has an ethereal bouquet of dried hazelnut and withered rose, a full body, light, well-knit tannins and toasted, candied spice. This listing is the 2017 vintage.
