Valtellina Superiore Sassella Riserva Rocce Rosse 2007: 93 points

"The 2007 Valtellina Superiore Sassella Riserva Rocce Rosse is another superb wine fromAr.Pe.Pe. Four years in cask and several more in bottle - along with the personality of the year - yielded a relatively soft Valtellina Superiore with gentle contours and plenty of appeal. Readers who prefer wines with delineation and energy will find those qualities more expressed in some of the other wines in this range. The 2007 Rocce Rosse, on the other hand, is a relatively easygoing wine that can be enjoyed with minimal fanfare. It also appears to be on a relatively fast curve of aging."
