Popped and poured, enjoyed over the course of dinner. The 2019 “Stella Retica” (Sassella) pours a garnet color with a transparent core; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with a beautiful perfume of Morello cherry, red flowers, alpine herbs, truffle and inorganic earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with high tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. A beautiful, elegant wine that’s nipping at the heals of the 2017 vintage. Drink now through 2044. Thanks for the assist @Lyle Fass
