Tasting Note

Delicate and dry with velvety tannins and a wonderful fruit structure.

Producer

Alfio Mozzi professes to have been born in the winery belonging to his great grandparents, all winemakers, where he remembers to have spent most of his infancy and childhood,.

After working as a metal worker for 11 years, he decided to devote himself first to the cultivation of vines, turned it into a business and the subsequent creation of the winery. In 1998, along with the ability to merge the various adjoining family properties, his dream became reality.

Winemaking is Alfio’s passion, that passion being in direct contact between the terroir and the vines, the careful manicuring of the vines and the tastings in the cellar. With every bottle the connoisseur can always rediscover the excitement of the vintage, flavors of tradition…the connection to the Valtellina Valley.

The estate produces three labels that display Valtellina Superiore DOCG and all come from the Nebbiolo varietal: Sassella Grisone, Sassella Grisone Riserva and the Sforzato di Valtellina. The latter two being produced exclusively in the best years.
