Plozza Valtellina Superiore Sassella Riserva Red edition 2021

Plozza's Valtellina Superiore Sassella Riserva 'Red edition' is a 2021 red wine from the Sassella terraces. It is made exclusively from grapes grown in that zone and matures first in barrique for six to eight months, then for two years in oak barrels. Ruby red tending to garnet, it shows cherry, nutmeg, clove and cinnamon aromas, with an elegant palate, fine but present tannin and a long finish with menthol echoes. It pairs with Valtellina specialities, buckwheat crêpes, braised and roasted meats and medium to long-aged hard cheeses.
