What wine is Valtellina Superiore Riserva DOCG 'Sàsa' 2021 - Boffalora
The Valtellina Superiore Riserva DOCG 'Sàsa' 2021 - Boffalora is born in the heart of Valtellina, from Chiavennasca grapes (the local name for Nebbiolo) cultivated on mountain terraces at about 700 meters above sea level. The sandy and stony soils, together with the temperature range of these areas, give the wine elegance, depth, and a natural freshness that enhances its alpine character. It is a red wine of great finesse and identity, combining structure and drinkability, perfect for those seeking an authentic wine, a sincere expression of the Valtellina territory.Vintage Details
The 2021 vintage was characterized by a balanced climate: warm but not excessive summers and a dry and ventilated September that favored a slow and complete ripening of the grapes. The manual harvest, carried out at the end of October, allowed for the selection of only the best bunches, ensuring aromatic intensity and fine tannins in the wine.Vinification and aging
In the cellar, the Valtellina Superiore Riserva DOCG 'Sàsa' 2021 - Boffalora follows a careful vinification process that respects the raw material. The grapes ferment in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature, with a maceration—the contact between skins and must—lasting several weeks, useful for extracting color and aromas in a balanced way. The wine then matures in wooden tonneaux (500-liter oak barrels) which impart delicate spicy notes and structure, and then completes its refinement in the bottle until full harmony is achieved.Tasting Notes
Color: Luminous garnet red, typical of mountain Nebbiolo, with nuances that anticipate complexity and elegance.
Nose: On the nose, it releases aromas of ripe cherry, raspberry, and plum, followed by hints of alpine herbs, delicate spices, and a slight wet stone note that recalls the Valtellina terroir.
Palate: In the mouth, it is fine yet decisive. The dense and well-integrated tannins support an elegant structure and a long persistence. The acidity, natural in high-altitude wines, offers freshness and invites the next sip, perfectly balancing the wine's body.
