Cantina Ar.Pe.Pe. Riserva Rocce Rosse Sassella Valtellina Superiore Nebbiolo 2002
The 2002 Valtellina Superiore Sassella Riserva Rocce Rosse will give readers a very good idea of how top-notch Valtellina Nebbiolo develops with age. Primary flavors are now faded into the background, replaced with a striking array of dried rose petal, lavender, mint and sweet pipe tobacco. A wine for lovers of classic, traditionally made Nebbiolo, the 2002 Rocce Rosse delivers the goods, and then some...Don't miss it. Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

Second bottle of this. Would be hard to get to Nebbiolo (err…Chiavenesca!) blind. Tea leaves, earth, and sour cherry.

In an absolutely perfect place. Beautiful. Like a barbaresco at its peak, but that's not totally fair because this is something in and of itself. Wonderful wine.
