VALTELLINA SUPERIORE SASSELLA 1999
Beautiful, rich and complex bouquet on the nose of sour cherries. Full bodied wine with a deep, rich flavours and a long finish. A balanced palette with dark cherry flavours with a hint of chocolate, and a good tannin core.

Could be enjoyed with strong flavored meats, stews, as well dry and aged cheeses.
PRICE ANALYSIS: Over priced.

LAST WORDS: Overall a very good wine. Try MEZZACORONA TEROLDEGO ROTALIANO RISERVA 2001, although only slightly less tasty, the flavours are very similar for half the price.
