Arpepe - Sassella Vigna Regina Riserva 2005 (750ml)
Wine Spectator - "A beautiful nose of dried raspberry, spice box, dried thyme and graphite draws you into the glass, where this mouthwatering, medium- to full-bodied red caresses the palate like fine silk, carrying the flavor range and rich minerality through to the grippy finish. Drink now through 2025. 850 cases made, 130 cases imported."

"The 2005 Valtellina Superiore Sassella Riserva Vigna Regina is a very pretty wine to drink today, as the tannins have softened and the flavors show a good deal of complexity. Tobacco, game, incense, iron and dark stone fruits form the backbone in an imposing, brooding Sassella. Mid-weight but slightly burly, the 2005 has enough structure and acidity to drink well for another decade plus. This is a classic Valtellina red built on an understated sense of power. Readers who enjoy firm, structured wines will find much to admire".
