Mamete Prevostini Sassella Valtellina Superiore ‘Marena’ 2016 750ml

Mamete Prevostini Sassella Valtellina Superiore Marena 2016
This monovarietal Nebbiolo functions like a gateway into Northeast Italy’s way with the emblematic grape. Gobs of juicy cherries mingle with cassis, lightly toasted hazelnuts, new saddle leather, peppery spices, blood orange zest, and a dusting of dried rose petals in the captivating 2016 Sassella. This wine feels ethereal yet muscular, with silky tannins and a pleasing textured mouthfeel. Enjoyable now, fewer than 200 cases imported into the States.
