The Nino Negri 2016 Valtellina Superiore Sassella Le Tense is a silky and polished wine with forest berries, blueberries, bitter almond, crushed rock, ash and mild spice. The wine has all those ethereal and delicately balanced aromas of a Nebbiolo-based Valtellina wine, however they are presented in a slightly more immediate and accessible manner (with 45,000 bottles made). This is a great wine for cheesy raclette.

Expressive flavors of dried strawberry and fig fruit, hints of marjoram and rose petal, and a pure note of loamy mineral are deftly knit to fine-grained tannins in this rich red, set in a fresh and elegant, medium-bodied frame.
