The wine shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of garnet red,
moderate transparency. The nose denotes intense, clean, pleasing and
refined aromas that start with hints of cherry and raspberry followed by
aromas of violet, rose, plum, strawberry jam, licorice, tobacco, vanilla,
menthol and lavender. In the mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a
tannic attack and pleasing crispness, however balanced by alcohol, full
body, intense flavors, good tannins, agreeable. The finish is persistent
with flavors of cherry, raspberry and plum. A well made wine. Valtellina
Sassella La Priora ages in cask.
