Terrazzi Alti Sassella Valtellina Superiore 2018

Siro's Sassella reveals another, darker-noted level of fruit and spice on the palate, with five-spice and brambly berries, tart red currant, caramelized sugar, and bresaola, wrapped around an inner, red floral sweetness. Fine, pin-prick-like tannins continue this dynamic, creating an interplay between luscious and pleasingly bitter/drying, leading to a lip-smacking, savory finish. A Nebbiolo that displays Burgundian richness and elegance and the lacy finesse of much bigger name Piemontese producers, this one's ready to go between now and the next 5 years.
