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 for its cultivation. The area is indeed entirely south-facing, at about 400 meters above sea level, on a soil mainly composed of sand with 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.
