Sandro Fay "Il Glicine" Valtellina Superiore Sassella 2022

A Valtellina Superiore Sassella from the one-hectare Il Glicine vineyard at about 470 metres, south-facing on predominantly sandy soil. Malolactic fermentation follows the first fermentation in steel, and the wine ages for 12 months in barrique. It is garnet red with light reflections, with red berry fruit, cherry and fine spice on the nose. The palate is intense and balanced, with a fine body, present but not aggressive tannins and good acidity, and the finish is persistent. It suits grilled red meat, aged cheeses and game.
