title: Rainoldi 2009 Sassella Riserva  (Valtellina Superiore)
description: Aromas of crushed violet, dried rose petal, underbrush, ripe berry and a balsamic note lead the nose on this classically crafted Nebbiolo. The firm palate delivers dried black cherries, raspberries, licorice, clove, mint and tobacco alongside assertive but polished tannins and bright acidity. It's still young so let this fully develop. Drink 2019–2029.
