INTRODUCTION

Sassorosso is one of the finest terraces of Grumello (from the Latin grumus, meaning knoll, rise). This Valtellina Superiore subzone is home to Castel Grumello, built at the beginning of the 13th century by Family De Piro and destroyed during the rule of the Grigioni in 1526.

TASTING NOTES

Garnet hue with purplish highlights, accompanied by a complex, pervasive nose with delicate notes of dried flowers (wild roses, violets), spices (cloves, cinnamon) and red fruit (cherries, raspberries). The palate is dry, with medium acidity, ripe tannins, and notes of berry fruit and sweet spice on the pleasant medium-length finish. A particularly forthright wine with a strong identity.
