Wild cherry and bergamot weave through dried mountain herbs and warm spice. The structure remains taut and mineral-driven, with piercing acidity that cuts through layers of cinnamon and rose. Nearly a decade in, this Sassella Riserva still feels coiled and reserved, demanding patience for full integration. Drink 2024-2035.
