Description
The 1975 Sassella La Castellina is a beautifully aged wine from the Valtellina region, crafted from the Nebbiolo grape (locally known as Chiavennasca). Over the years, it has developed a complex bouquet of dried red fruits such as cherries and raspberries, along with delicate floral notes of rose petals and violets. Earthy undertones of truffle, leather, and subtle hints of spice and tobacco have emerged with age. The tannins, once firm, have softened, giving the wine a smooth, velvety texture, while the acidity remains fresh, providing balance and vibrancy. A refined and elegant expression of Sassella.
