Sassella Red Rocks Reserve of the winery Ar.Pe.Pe
The Sassella Riserva Rocce Rosse of the Ar.Pe.Pe winery is an evolved and complex red wine from Lombardy, a splendid expression of the Nebbiolo of Valtellina, which is aged in large chestnut wood barrels and partly in cement. The Sassella Riserva Rocce Rosse expresses a complex and elegant bouquet that ranges from fruit to oriental spices, to tertiary hints of leather and liquorice. The sip is rich and enveloping, balanced between freshness and softness and very persistent.
