The red wine, Valtellina Superiore Sassella, is often described as the best of the four sub-zones under Valtellina Superiore DOCG. The zone lies in the center of the area west of the city Sondrio, and has its name from the chapel in the area, but it can also be because of the many stones (sassi) in the wine fields.

Sassella reaches its optimal maturity after 4-5 years, and if it's stored well it can be kept for a long time.

Goes well with red meat, game, cheese and the typical Valtellina cold cuts.
