About
Vigna Sassorosso is situated on a rocky prominence detached from the rest of the mountainside and which over the centuries has been completely eroded by the glacier. The few centimetres of soil available has meant that the vines have had to spread their roots into the parent rock giving birth to a wine of great elegance.
Terroir
The vineyards are south-, south-east, and south-west facing lying at altitudes of between 900 and 1600 feet above the sea level. The type of soil features shallow, sandy loam with low fertility, contained by dry-stone wall terraces.
Vinification
The grapes are de-stemmed and crushed. Rack and return as per the classic red winemaking process with fermentation at between 77 and 82F. After
malolactic fermentation, the wine rests for at least 12 months in medium-sized oak barrels and a small amount in barriques. The wine ages for at least a further six months in the bottle
Tasting Notes
On the nose reminiscent of small red fruit such as blackberry, currant, cherry and raspberry with fresh, floral notes of violet and rose and a finish of wild berries. A dense and silky tannic structure on the palate with a flavorsome beginning and long lasting finish. A wine of great austerity and purity with considerable potential for aging.
