Ar.Pe.Pe. Ultimi Raggi Valtellina Superiore Riserva Sassella, Italy 2016 Alava For flavorsAromas of graphite, game, earth, red cherries and dark berries. Dense palate with dusty yet ripe tannins, refreshing acidity and a medium to full body. A lot of good substance that still needs time to integrate and gain complexity. Drinkable now, but best from 2026. 95 Pts James Suckling
