Fragrant and loaded with finesse, this lovely red opens with heady aromas of woodland berry, wild rose and camphor. Lithe and delicious, the elegant palate offers juicy red cherry, crushed strawberry, baking spice and a tangy mineral note suggesting granite. It's well balanced, with polished tannins and fresh acidity. Drink through 2032.

A bright and minerally red, with a well-spiced overtone of anise, white pepper and graphite, this features taut, integrated tannins and flavors of wild cherry and strawberry, cured tobacco and slate that linger on the creamy finish. Drink now through 2028.

The 2017 Valtellina Superiore Sassella Riserva Stella Retica is redolent of scorched earth, savory herbs, brown spice and dried fruits. It is the most forward and fleeting of the 2017 Superiores. I would prefer to drink it over the next handful of years at most.
