ARPEPE - Exceptional Alpine Nebbiolo

by Hugh French | Sep 13, 2023

 

ARPEPE

"Readers who enjoy traditionally made Nebbioli will delight in these wines from Ar.Pe.Pe, which is an acronym of sorts for founder Arturo Pelizzatti Perego. The Ar.Pe.Pe. wines capture the essence of what makes Valtellina a unique winemaking region."
Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com

 

 

For over 150 years ARPEPE has crafted exceptional Nebbiolo (known as Chiavennasca in Lombardy)wines that showcase the steep slopes and alpine climate. Meticulous craftsmanship and a dedication to tradition, result in elegant and age-worthy expressions that rival those of Lombardy's neighbour to the west, Piedmont.

Below is the winery's latest release of Valtellina Superiore however, we have a superb range of back vintage wines including the incredible Valtellina Superiore Riserva's which are also on special offer pricing and not to be missed! Make sure to check these out by clicking the link below.

2020 Rosso di Valtellina DOC
Usually $59 - Special Offer $56

"Made from 100% Nebbiolo from vines over 50 years old that grow at altitudes over 350 metres above sea level and slowly macerated for two months, then left to age short term in old oak to retain freshness and vibrancy. This wine bursts out of the glass with bright red fruit and savoury alpine herb notes. The palate is medium weight but intensely concentrated with silky tannins on the finish. A great example of drink-now Nebbiolo."
Importer Notes

 

 

2019 Valtellina Superiore 'Il Pettirosso' DOCG
Usually $89 - Special Offer $84

"Pettirosso is a blend of fruit from the Sassella, Grumello and Inferno top tier vineyards. In our opinion this is an unmissable cuvee for all Nebbiolo lovers and Arpepe fans alike. There is dusty dry tannin structure from the 4 months it spends on skins. Soft notes of cedar-wood and delicate musk has been imparted from time resting in barrel. Sensational drinking."
Importer Notes

 

2019 Valtellina Superiore 'Grumello Rocca de Piro' DOCG
Usually $104 -Special Offer $98

"Initially shy, the subtle nose eventually reveals new leather, Alpine herb and wild berry. The savory palate has an understated elegance, offering Marasca cherry, pomegranate and graphite alongside refined tannins. Drink through 2027."

2019 Valtellina Superiore 'Sassella Stella Retica' DOCG
Usually $104 - SpecialOffer $98

The soils here contain greater proportions of pebbles (sassolino) and limestone than those found in Grumello. Theresult is a wonderfully perfumed and fine Nebbiolo from Valtellina. Wild notes of cherry, fresh strawberry, soft herbs and a marked minerality are supported by typically robust Nebbiolo acidity and tannins. Fantastic now but greater pleasure is no doubt in this wine's future after some time in the cellar.

2019 Valtellina Superiore 'Inferno Fiamme Antiche' DOCG
Usually $104 - Special Offer $98

"The Valtellina Superiore Inferno Fiamme Antiche DOCG speaks to us of granitic rock heated in the sun, soaring up into the air like a flame, filling our nostrils with its heady fragrance.

The warmth is the secret of the perfect ripening of the grapes, which come exclusively from steep, sun-drenched slopes in the municipality of Poggiridenti.

A Nebbiolo with finely textured tannins and a lively freshness, with a bouquet of Alpine herbs and of the earth it comes from..."
