Professionele reviews

James Suckling (96)

Intense and perfumed nose of rosemary, cherry pits, flowers, balsamic, dried oranges, rhubarb, Parma violets and cinnamon enhanced by stony minerality. On the palate it’s smooth, silky and medium-bodied, with velvety tannins, crisp acidity and balsamic flavors. Tight-knit and precise, it’s a bit austere in the finish yet forthright. Drink or hold.

Vinous (94)

The 2018 Valtellina Superiore Sassella Riserva Rocce Rosse is bright, lifted and translucent in the glass. It offers striking intensity and yet remains light on its feet. Crushed red berry fruit, white flowers, mint, chalk and tangerine peel build with time in the glass, filling out the layers effortlessly. There is a feeling of translucency here that is utterly beguiling. Readers will find a wine of real stature and pedigree.

Falstaff (94)

Bright ruby red with brick-coloured reflections. Appealing nose of Mediterranean herbs, blackberry and some orange zest. Great drive on the palate with well-integrated tannins and a long, fruit-accentuated finish.
