Casa Vivicola Triacca Description

The remarkable Sassella area is particularly steep, wind-swept and sun-drenched. Small patches are cultivated with vines, despite the rocky terrain. As you wander along the terraces, you really feel this is a special, enchanting, almost magical place. The name literally means “small stone”. The rocks soak up the sun’s warmth during the day and slowly release it again after dusk to the benefit of the grapes: the result is a rich, full-bodied wine. The bouquet has hints of raspberry, small fruits, violets and even dog rose petals. The taste is dry, velvety and robust, with the odd hint of hazelnut, leading to a liquorice and dried prune finish
