Tasting notes

This is a declassified Sassella. Brick-red colour, browning towards the rim. Nose shows autumn leafs, tar, tobacco. Medium bodied and dry nebbiolo in the mouth. Typical Valtellina-style. Hints of red berries, tobacco and anise. Traditional style. A little bitter finish. Medium tannic end. Decent wine, but I likeed the cheaper rosso better than this.
