Riserva Rocce Rosse Sassella Valtellina Superiore Nebbiolo

Elegant , maraschino cherries , soft soft tannins

I don’t like it I love it @David L

In a very good place currently. Highlights the savory side of Nebbiolo.

Mountaineering: Freedom of the Hills.

Spectacular. Lots of life left.

Cool climate Nebbiolo. Delicious.

Tasty with a pasta puttanesca

Another disappointing Acker auction bottle from Piedmont. All four bottles either corked or flawed.

Shakshuka is Italian, right? What a beauty.

Medium light garnet core , wide light terracotta rim . This is quite evolved , with spiced old wood, touch of smoky dried meats , herbal hints , some sous bois , and dried wild strawberry . On the palate this shows more elegant red fruit focus , quite linear and refined , delicate raspberry , smoky anis tinged strawberry . High refreshing acidity and still noticeable but fine and sweet tannin . Good menthol , medicinal tinged finish . Drink now and over the next few years .
