´Rosso di Valtellina'

Nebbiolo, Lombardia, Italy 

A mountainously welcome distraction from whatever’s been on your mind lately. Arpepe is owned and operated by a family of winegrowers, who, for over 150 years have been passionately devoted to the cultivation of the delicately-robust nebbiolo grape. From vines more than fifty years old planted over granite, fruit is sourced from around 350-400 metres above sea level – adding to the distinct alpine characteristics we hold so dearly. The grapes undergo a long, gentle maceration of two months in tini (vats) to extract these tree-trunk-tannins. Orange-tinted, violet and rose perfume, crushed graphite, giant cherry, whole clove, sandalwood oil, torn leather, plum jam & tamed acidity. Pour alongside a fire grilled steak or your fave cheeseburger.
