Red Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✧

Valtellina Superiore Sassella Sommarovina shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of brick red, moderate transparency. The nose denotes intense, clean, pleasing and refined aromas that start with hints of cherry, plum and violet followed by aromas of strawberry, raspberry, rose, vanilla, tobacco, cocoa, coffee and menthol. The mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a tannic attack and pleasing crispness, however balanced by alcohol, full body, intense flavors. The finish is persistent with flavors of cherry, plum and raspberry. Valtellina Superiore Sassella Sommarovina ages for 15 months in barrique followed by 8 months of aging in bottle.
