Underripe wild strawberry, clove, smoke and blood orange rind, holly berry, dried rose petal and lemon threads interweaving electrically. Very lemony pink grapefruit on the palate drying immediately. Tangerine pith, chalky, with dried star fruit, bing cherry, marigold, and shadows of tar. #nebbiolo #valtellina #chiavennasca #northernitalianwines #Rainoldi #brutrosé #bubbles #sparklingwine #obscure #brut — 9 years ago

Just had our first dinner in Varenna and it was very good, local all the way and a bit different. Fried cheese balls, cocoa and saffron pasta with porcine mushrooms and grilled lake fish. Had some Lugano white made from Trebbiano which was very good, full bodied with good acid. Had this red as well, 2012. Very nice and light, great with lake fish. Of course finished off the night with an unnamed Grappa. — 11 years ago

Loved the wine — strawberry, dried strawberries, a bit of herbs (mint?). Not too tannic but dry. — 8 months ago

This is Sassella Vigna degli Apostoli, the winery’s top bottling. My first Valtellina - the alpine Nebbiolo.

The nose is reminiscent of a good Barolo with tart cherry, steeped black tea, oak spices, dried mushroom, and violet. The palate leans on the fruity side, lively, smooth and poised. Mellow tannins. Finishes long.

From a small single Cru in Sassella, considered by most the best sub zone of Valtellina Superior. Aged in large oak barrels for 26 months, steel tanks for 3, and bottle for 36. I believe only 2 vintages release so far, ‘15 being the latest one. — 3 years ago

Value seekers should check this out. For $15 this delivers the goods via northern Italy. Elegant currants, strawberry and licorice mingle with spice, fine and supple tannins, and a clean pure finish. #nebbiolo — 11 years ago
