Description

Valtellina Superiore Sassella Stella Retica DOCG, almost a tongue-twister, like the first sip: taut enough to catch you unawares, soft enough not to catch you unprepared. You always hoped to see the edelweiss as a child on hikes in the mountains, but the hikes were often longer than your breath and most of the time you got tired before you found it. The good thing was that you always had the urge to go back and look for it, even if it meant reaching the glacier. As did the climber who dedicated a route to our wine: you can look it up on the maps of the Rhaetian side, the side of the Alps where Sassella is carved.

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.
