Valtellina Superiore, Sassella, Rocce Rosse, Ar. Pe Pe

Valtellina Superiore, Sassella, Rocce Rosse, Ar. Pe Pe - 2016

750 mL
Item # 26948

A complex integration of charming primary fruit with iron, earthy notes demonstrate fully on this delicate red. Nebbiolo, dusted with dark earth and showing all the vigor of red curants with dried rose petals, from Ar Pe Pe is unlike any other in the region. At an interesting point in its development now, one senses as the aromas evolve in the glass, this precious, pretty wine is moving ever so slowly up to the next level in its long life. Worthy of a fancy decanter, share this wine with friends over truffles, rare beef and charred vegetables.
