Valtellina Superiore Sassella DOCG "Le Tense" 2021 Nino Negri

A Valtellina Superiore Sassella DOCG red from the 2021 vintage, made solely from Chiavennasca. Fermentation takes place in steel, followed by maturation partly in large oak barrels and partly in barrique for 16 months. It is intended to be fine, balanced, elegant and harmonious. The wine is vivid ruby red. The nose is complex, with raspberry jam, wild rose and mature morello cherry. The palate is full and soft, with savouriness and elegance, and the finish is pleasantly spicy and persistent. It pairs with red meat roasts and medium-aged cheeses.
