Riserva Sassella

2004 Valtellina Nebbiolo

Plozza Riserva Sassella, a remarkable Nebbiolo from the breathtaking Valtellina region, embodies the essence of its terroir with elegance and refinement. This deep red wine showcases a medium-bodied profile, balanced by high acidity that brings a lively freshness to each sip. The fruit intensity is prominent, with notes of ripe cherry and dark berry that dance beautifully alongside hints of leather and spice, creating a complex yet harmonious flavor experience. The tannins are notably firm, providing structure and depth to the wine, while its dryness enhances its food-friendly nature, making it an excellent companion to hearty Italian dishes. Crafted with care and aged to perfection, the 2004 vintage of Plozza Riserva Sassella is a true testament to the artistry of winemaking in Valtellina.
