Nebbiolo 'Sassifraga' Le Strie 2020

Nebbiolo 'Sassifraga' Le Strie 2020

Le Strie

The "Sassifraga" Nebbiolo is a Valtellina juice with a fresh and pleasant profile. The aging in steel allows this pleasant red wine to express all its varietal aromas, such as cherry, forest fruits and woody spices. The taste is easy to drink and of great freshness, tightened by intense tannins. Try on typical salami, as slinzega or bresaola, or on the traditional pizzoccheri of Valtellina

NEBBIOLO 'SASSIFRAGA' LE STRIE 2020 DESCRIPTION

Nebbiolo "Sassifraga" from Le Strie winery is a tribute to the territory and to that pleasantness given by drinking a glass of good wine in good company. In fact, its name comes from a succulent plant that blooms among the rocks of the typical Valtellina terraces around the middle of June. This is a Nebbiolo proposed in its youngest and freshest version, characterized by great ease of drinking that makes it extremely convivial and straightforward. It is meant to be a realistic, no-frills snapshot of the Valtellina territory. Azienda Agricola Le Strie is animated by four winemakers, a couple from the Veneto region and one from Rome, who bought just over a hectare of vineyards to make wine as a hobby decades ago. An activity that over the years has paid off and from a simple hobby has become a work of sacrifice and great passion. This is how Le Strie's signature bottles are born, such as this Rosso "Sassifraga," a 100% Valtellina juice.

"Sassifraga" Le Strie is composed of 95 percent Nebbiolo, with the remainder divided among very small amounts of local varieties such as Rossola, Pignola and Bugnola. Most of the grapes used for this very special blend come from the two subzones, Sassella and Valgella. The harvest is carried out in the month of October. The clusters, once transported to the winery, are pressed and destemmed. Next, fermentation is carried out in stainless steel containers, as is the ageing phase, which lasts about 7 months. This is followed by a final stage of maturation in the bottle for a period of 4 months.

Le Strie Nebbiolo "Sassifraga" has a ruby red color. Red fruit, cherry, mountain herbs and earthy underbrush notes punctuate its bouquet. In the mouth, it is fresh and juicy, with well-managed tannin and a precious mineral finish. The components play in perfect balance to give an extraordinary drinkability. Recommended pairing: friends and Valtellina vineyards in the background.
