Taste Notes of citrus, freshness and light light silk... a cello concert and the white noise of the distant glacier.
History When the high autumn temperatures begin to shape the aromatic profile of the grapes, the skin thickens and the mineral salts concentrate. The right acidity is needed to create the Valtellina Superiore Grumello Riserva Buon Consiglio DOCG. Long macerations, if necessary even more than 100 days in the wooden vat, large barrels for even 60 months and still for the right amount of time waiting, in silence, in the dark, in the burgundy bottle. You are amazed when you drink it at the end of summer, in the evening, and you are reminded of seaside holidays.

Description

Still red from Lombardy, produced by Ar.Pe.Pe. Valtellina Superiore Grumello Riserva Buon Consiglio DOCG, 2018 vintage, 0.75 liter bottle. A wine that celebrates the passion for Nebbiolo and Valtellina, a unique region where everything is still handmade. Long macerations, even over 100 days in wooden vats if necessary, in large barrels for up to 60 months, and then for just the right amount of time, silently and darkly, in Burgundy bottles. Notes of citrus, freshness, and a light, silky finish… a cello concert and the white noise of the distant glacier.

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.
