Arpepe Rosso Di Valtellina (Lombardy) is made from 100% Nebbiolo grape (locally known as Chiavennasca). First vintage produced in 2003 and winning the 2014 PopWine top spot in Vinitaly, Arpepe is owned and operated by a gang of winegrowers, who are cultivating Chiavennasca for over 150 years. Fruit comes from 50 to 100 years old vines that are planted at the altitude of 350 to 400 meters above sea level.
Grapes undergo a long 100 days skin on maceration and aged in un toasted large oak, concrete and bottle for 6 to 10 months. Wine displays orange tinge, violet and rose perfume, crushed graphite, cherry, clove, sandalwood oil, leather, plum jam and a balance acidity.
