Valtellina Superiore DOCG Riserva 2009 Menegola

The Valtellina Superiore Sassella Riserva of Cantina Menegola was 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 contact with the skins, in stainless steel tanks, at a controlled temperature of 25 ° C for 13 days. Subsequently the wine ages in barriques for 30 months and for a further 8 months in bottle before being released on the market.

This Valtellina Superiore Sassella Riserva is characterized by an intense ruby red color, with garnet reflections. The nose opens with intense aromas of red fruits, enriched with pleasant spicy notes of coffee. On the palate it is elegant, full-bodied and pleasantly tannic.

Perfect to accompany first courses with meat sauce and mushrooms, it is ideal in combination with stews and roasts.
