Valtellina Superiore Sassella 'Sommarovina' Mamete Prevostini 2018

The red "Sommarovina" is a Valtellina Superiore Sassella with great potential, capable of being uncorked even after more than five years. It is well known that one of the main characteristics of the Nebbiolo grape is its longevity, which is also found in this product signed by Mamete Prevostini, where aromas and flavors are clear and incisive while maintaining a constant underlying elegance, enhanced by the excellent coherence between taste and smell. A bottle that effortlessly conquers the palate of red wine enthusiasts. 

This Valtellina Superiore Sassella "Sommarovina" Mamete Prevostini originates from Nebbiolo grapes grown in the guyot form within a single vineyard, a true cru particularly suited to its cultivation. The area is indeed entirely south-facing, at about 400 meters in altitude, on a soil mainly composed of sand and a small component of silt. The harvest begins after the first decade of October and the must ferments in stainless steel tanks, macerating on the skins for 15 days. The subsequent aging lasts for 10 months, and takes place in oak barrels.

The "Sommarovina" Valtellina Superiore Sassella signed by the Mamete Prevostini winery presents itself to the eye with a concentrated ruby red color, crossed by flashes that turn towards a garnet hue. The array of aromas that spreads to the nose opens with floral notes, enriched by more fruity touches and spicy and balsamic scents. On the palate, it enters with a structured sip, at times austere, endowed with good balance and an aromatic finish. A label among the best in the entire range produced by the winery in Mese, perfect for deepening the knowledge of Nebbiolo grown within the Valtellina terroir.
