Description

Attached to the Rocce Rosse, the "New Queen" reaches an altitude of over 450 metres, up to the road from S.Anna to Triasso. In this vineyard there is more rock than earth, and here we have preserved the largest number of old vines: a heritage of ancient genes that in the best years gives one of the longest-lived and most precious Reserves, as only the fruit of completely manual work can give. The '91 was sensational but finding it on the menu today in some restaurant is more complicated than meeting the Queen.

From this winery
  • Start up year: 1860
  • Oenologist: Isabella ed Emanuele Pelizzatti Perego
  • Bottles produced: 100.000
  • Hectares: 15
In 1984, Arturo Pelizzatti Perego, bolstered by the experience gained in his father’s and grandfather’s firm, decided to create ARPEPE. His aim was to realize the full potential of the unique Valtellina terroir with all the pride and determination required for such an ambitious goal.
To do so, Arturo started producing long-aging Nebbiolo wines according to the rules of the oldest traditions.

Today, Isabella, Emanuele and Guido continue their father’s work as the fifth generation of winemakers and growers. In just a few years, thanks to careful technological innovations and the choice of a young and passionate team, Arturo’s dream has come true: his rare wines are once again a major point of reference on the national and international wine scene.
