Valtellina Superiore DOCG Rupestre 2009 Menegola

The Valtellina Superiore Sassella Rupestre of Cantina Menegola is born in vineyards located in the municipality of Castione Andevenno, in the Sassella sub-area.

It is produced exclusively with Nebbiolo grapes, harvested and selected entirely by hand. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 28 ° C for 9 days. Subsequently the wine ages in oak barriques for 24 months and for a further 6 months in bottle, before being released on the market.

Rupestre is characterized by a ruby red color. The nose opens with harmonious floral aromas of rhododendron, enriched with pleasant spicy notes of pepper. On the palate it is fresh and pleasantly tannic.

Perfect to accompany dishes with meat sauce and red meats, it is ideal in combination with roasts, stews and aged cheeses.
