From: Lombardy, Italy
Varietal: Nebbiolo
Christopher Deas, Italian Wine Merchants: “It is a Riserva that is produced only in truly extraordinary vintages and that has only happened ten times for the Sassella Nouva Regina in past forty years, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1995, 1999, 2001, 2005, 2007, 2009, and 2013. It is one of the veteran Sassella Riservas from the Ar. Pe. Pe. portfolio and is sourced from 50-year-old vines at 500 meters altitude within a subplot of Sassella. In this vineyard more rock than earth emerges, and it shows in the wine.
Tasting Notes: Very diverse range of flavors with notes of mint, herbs, ripe red fruit, sweet spices and balsamic reflections. Deep, silky and persistent.
