Riserva Sassella Valtellina Superiore Nebbiolo

Black Truffle ravioli, heirloom tomatoes, and farm fresh kale went perfectly with this properly aged Valtellina Nebbiolo. It has truffle and aged salumi with baked plum and smoky cherry bursting aromatically alongside violet and briny plum reduction. A corned beef and grilled pork along with ground steak skimming. Amazing. Blood orange dried bing and cran, dried violet, cedar and light tobacco, clove, and lightest graphite. This is elegant as a samurai sword with the blacksmith residue to prove it, Rose petal, and a hemp resin moment tamed by cinnamon. Incredible on all levels. #rainoldi #rainoldivaltellina #valtellina #valtellinasuperiore #sassellareserva #nebbiolo #chiavennasca

I see you, Lombardia! Chiavennasca with swag.

2007 showing well tonight, integrated flavors but not overly mature, long on the palate, powerful but not lacking finesse. Standout wine on an impressive wine list.

2009 offering from Rainoldi. Amazing stuff, some of the grapes are helicopter harvested. Black coffee and tea nose with a touch of cola. Grapefruit rind, candied orange peel and clove. Medium mouthfeel with brandied bing cherry and bitter lemon.rounded out by wild dagga root, schist and cinnamon apples. Really really different, but entirely satisfying. The depth of an amarone, but light and lively on its feet!

Aromatisk fin men smakmässigt är frukten lite för torkad och faten kanske inte helt integrerade.

Fruity, plum like?, Nebbiolo with very special flavor @, X3, 170721

Local to the lake. Bright and fruity, nice tannins, beautiful brick color.

Very nice. Light fruit, great minerality and very light on the palate. Decant half an hour and it will go amazing places.
