The Story
This Sassella “Sommarovina” opens with elegant aromas of red cherry, raspberry, and dried rose, layered with notes of spice, alpine herbs, and subtle mineral tones. The palate is medium to full-bodied, offering vibrant red fruit with depth and precision. Fine, structured tannins provide grip, while fresh acidity keeps the wine balanced and lively. A refined texture leads into a long, persistent finish marked by floral lift, spice, and distinctive mountain minerality.
Food Pairing: Roast meats, lamb, mushroom dishes, risotto, charcuterie, aged cheeses, and alpine cuisine.
91 Points - Wine Spectator
A well-knit and balanced red, though a bit high-toned on the nose, with taut tannins creating a fine frame for lively flavors of macerated strawberry and raspberry fruit, red licorice, bay leaf and mocha. Minerally, spiced finish. Drink now through 2029.
