The 2006 Valtellina Superiore Le Tense Sassella is simply beautiful in a fresh, vibrant expression of red cherries, flowers and minerals. The wine retains elements of firmness, although it is also quite accessible at this stage. This is a very complete and harmonious Valtellina. Le Tense was aged predominantly in small neutral oak, while a portion of the wine was aged in cask. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2012.
