Ar.Pe.Pe Valtellina Superiore Sassella Ultimi Raggi Riserva 2018

Still red from Valtellina Superiore DOCG, 14% ABV, produced by Ar.Pe.Pe, a historic winery founded in 1860. 100% Nebbiolo, aged for 34 months in large barrels and concrete vats. 0.75 L bottle, 2018 vintage, a vintage that promises great complexity. A wine born from the passion of a family of winemakers who have been cultivating Nebbiolo in Valtellina for five generations, a unique area where everything is still handcrafted. It opens with aromas of red fruit compote, ferro-cinchona, rhubarb, mint, Mediterranean scrub, slate, and hot spices. Bright garnet red in color. Elegant on the palate, it offers energetic freshness, juicy flavor, and velvety tannins. Balanced and infinitely persistent. A wine that pairs perfectly with red meat dishes, game, and aged cheeses.
