Nino Negri Valtellina Superiore le Tense Sassella 2015

Expressive flavors of dried strawberry and fig fruit, hints of marjoram and rose petal, and a pure note of loamy mineral are deftly knit to fine-grained tannins in this rich red, set in a fresh and elegant, medium-bodied frame. Drink now through 2028.

Very interesting and unusual wine. Nebbiolo grapes vinified in the Amarone style (grapes dried/raisined before fermenting). Clear pale-medium ruby color and medium body with high acid. Bright cherry notes with spice accents. Delicious.
