Riserva Rocce Rosse Sassella Valtellina Superiore Nebbiolo

The best APP I have ever had. Unreal wine. This is the Nebbiolo I die for. Achingly beautiful.

Really magical. Such lift and freshness.

Fantastic , coffee , nougat , leather and lavender nose .

Elegant , maraschino cherries , soft soft tannins

Nose is exceptionally pretty, red fruit, black tea, floral, spicy, acid there…tannin smooth and not elevated…just a fine wine to drink..

Second bottle of this. Would be hard to get to Nebbiolo (err…Chiavenesca!) blind. Tea leaves, earth, and sour cherry.

Pretty wine

Divine. If you know, you know

The 2007 Valtellina Superiore Sassella Riserva Rocce Rosse is another superb wine from Ar.Pe.Pe. Four years in cask and several more in bottle - along with the personality of the year - yielded a relatively soft Valtellina Superiore with gentle contours and plenty of appeal. Readers who prefer wines with delineation and energy will find those qualities more expressed in some of the other wines in this range. The 2007 Rocce Rosse, on the other hand, is a relatively easygoing wine that can be enjoyed with minimal fanfare. It also appears to be on a relatively fast curve of aging. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, April 2020)

Fragrant red berries, fading flowers, dried herbs and slatey minerality intermingles in this aged yet very vivid mountain Nebbiolo expression. Elegant palate offering a mature mouthfeel with resolved yet present tannins and fresh acidity. Lingering finish. Gorgeous wine!
