The Valtellina Superiore Sassella Riserva Rocce Rosse is one of the symbols of the company. The right waiting time is what separates you from achieving the goals you have set for yourself. This was the key thought from the beginning, the thought that gave the strength in 1984 to Arturo to refurbish an old vineyard over 400 metres in the heart of the Sassella of which he had understood the potential and which he had elected as his Reserve. The name traces the passion that had animated him in the search for that blood and iron flavour of the land of his ancestors. The 2013 harvest took place on November 2nd. After a 69-day maceration in 50-hectolitre vats, the wine aged 39 months in 50-hectolitre vats and barrels, concrete and in the bottle.

VALTELLINA SUPERIORE SASSELLA RISERVA ROCCE ROSSE 2013 ARPEPE: TASTING

The Sassella Riserav Rocce Rosse 2013 by ArPePe is a mystical transparent garnet with an orange rim. On the nose, the first to impose themselves are the floral notes of dried roses and violets, then alternate with red currant, black cherry, pepper, cloves, mace, mountain coffee, resin balms and blood trails. The sip is fresh and very savoury, with smooth tannins and a satisfying length with menthol notes. Excellent, served at 15° C, paired with Pizzocheri della Valtellina.
