ADDITIONAL NOTES:

Sassella is probably the oldest area from the point of view of vine cultivation in Valtellina. Glacier-smoothed rocks frequently outcrop from the ground and form natural terraces that are home to centuries-old secco walls. The Sassella area can be divided into two areas: the first lies close to the Adda Valley with southern exposure and is influenced by the "Breva," the temperate wind that blows from Lake Como; the second continues with eastern exposure and is wedged into the beginning of the Valmalenco from which it receives cool alpine breezes. Most of the Nebbiolo used by Nino Negri is grown in the first area, which, thanks to the special characteristics of the microclimate, produces berries with thin, delicate skins that naturally develop broad, elegant aromas with soft, velvety tannins.
