Alfio Mozzi, Valtellina Superiore Sassella 'Grisone' 2018

Alfio Mozzi started his eponymous winery in 1988, but his family has been involved with farming Nebbiolo grapes and making wine on the steep, terraced slopes of Valtellina for many generations. The flagship “Grisone” comes entirely from the Sassella cru and is fermented in steel tanks with a traditional slow maceration before aging in 20-30 hl French oak botti for 18 months. Classic notes of dried roses, sweet cherries, blood orange, and Alpine herbs.
