AR.PE.PE Sassella Stella Retica 2022
Valtellina Superiore Sassella Stella Retica DOCG – it’s almost a tongue twister, but then so too is the first sip: tense enough to capture and still astonish you, yet smooth enough not to catch you unprepared.
Long maceration can do wonders also for young wines, which year after year will amaze you with their innate ability to evolve.
The correct ripening of the grapes means doing everything at exactly the right time, weather permitting. This means that grapes, even from the same vineyard, will always be the outcome of countless variables that people can only partly influence. This is the part that we, with our innate passion, like to refer to as our “work”.
GRAPES COME FROM FIFTY-YEAR-OLD VINES PLANTED IN THE ROCKY UPPER REACHES OF THE SASSELLA CRU, AT 400–700 METRES ABOVE SEA LEVEL. 103 DAYS OF SKIN MACERATION IN LARGE TINI, FOLLOWED BY A YEAR IN OLD BOTTI AND EXTENDED BOTTLE AGEING. THE CRUS ROCCE ROSSE, NUOVA REGINA, AND ULTIMI RAGGI (SEPARATE IN RISERVA YEARS) ARE BOTTLED UNDER THIS LABEL.
