From a unique terroir, even by this dramatic valley’s standards, a plot of fifty year old vines planted over red granite near the top of Sassella at nearly 500 metres above sea level. The grapes were macerated for four months in tini and the wine rested in large chestnut casks for four years before bottling. Complex and intense, a wild, sanguine note from the iron in the soils offers both complexity and intrigue. Wonderful now, it will reward drinkers for many years to come.
