Critics scores
90 Robert Parker
From vines grown on sandy soils of crystalline mother rocks (granite and gneiss) since 1970 to 1978, the 2014 Sassi Grossi displays a clear, fresh and spicy, lovely intense bouquet with dark fruit and pepper aromas along with fresh flinty/mineral flavors. Silky textured, finessed and elegant, this full-bodied, ripe and well-concentrated Ticino Merlot is powerful but vital, revealing fine tannins and a lingering crystalline minerality, and is by no means rich or fat. The 2014 is a gastronomic, vitalizing Merlot that indicates a remarkable aging potential. It may further improve over the years.

Producer
Gialdi Vini

Gialdi Vini SA was founded in 1953 by Guglielmo Gialdi and was initially dedicated to the wine trade.
In 1984, following the purchase of a wine cellar in the north of Ticino, the company began the production of its own Merlot, which over the years developed both in the north and south of the region Ticino.
The determination of Feliciano Gialdi, the company’s current director, immediately gave new impulses to the creation of high quality products and the development of new business projects with a focus on absolute respect for the territory.
The production lines are therefore equipped with the most modern technology, while as far as ageing is concerned, it is decided to valorise the traditions. The historic cellars in Mendrisio dating back to the beginning of the 20th century, where a constant temperature and an ideal climate guarantee excellent ageing of the wines, are therefore renovated, creating splendid barrel cellars.Feliciano Gialdi also gives great importance to the work of all his staff, and in particular to his cellar team and his oenologist Alfred De Martin.
The collaboration and professionalism of his loyal employees, together with the numerous investments, have led the company and its wines to become one of the most important wineries in Switzerland.
