THE 100 MOST EXCITING WINE FINDS

Valtellina Superiore Sassella
Rocce Rosse Riserva 1996 Arturo Pelizzatti Perego

A great wine for the nostalgic – a Nebbiolo ofbreeding, with the class of the best Barolos and the finesse of a top burgundy, produced in an uncompromisingly traditional manner by a great defender of the true identity of Valtelline wines. Its mineral character, honest acidity, and absolute freshness make it special.

Not for youngsters! This is only for lovers of mature Nebbiolo, with more than a nostalgic hint of farmyard burgundy.
