Valtellina Superiore Inferno Nebbiolo Fiamme Antiche 2022

Description

Still red from Lombardy, Valtellina Superiore DOCG, 13.5% ABV, 100% Nebbiolo. Produced by Ar.Pe.Pe, a family of winemakers since 1860. 0.75 L bottle, 2022 vintage. A mountain Nebbiolo born from heroic viticulture, where everything is done by hand. After harvesting, the grapes macerate for 12 days in chestnut vats before being transferred to oak barrels for at least two years. The garnet red color with orange highlights immediately suggests this is a great mountain Nebbiolo, opening with notes of cherry, plum in alcohol, nutmeg, and cloves, with a richly spicy finish. Ar.Pe.Pe.'s Inferno "Fiamme Antiche" is a precise, clean red wine with a subtle tannic texture that, combined with its savory character, makes it truly satisfying, elegant, and territorial.

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.
