Valtellina Superiore Riserva Sassella Rocce Rosse 2016, ARPEPE
A monumental red for charisma, finesse, and stylistic rigor. The olfactory profile alternates between small noble fruits and mineral, iron, and balsamic notes of extreme refinement. On the palate, it is straightforward, savory, and characterized by a masterful balance between the strength of granite and the verticality of the sip. A display of style that represents the pinnacle of Alpine Nebbiolo.
Valtellina Superiore Riserva Sassella Rocce Rosse 2016, ARPEPE
The Valtellina Superiore Riserva "Sassella Rocce Rosse" 2016 by ARPEPE is a monumental work, the most iconic and mineral expression of the Rhaetian slope. This wine comes from the vineyard of the same name, located on terraces where the exposed rock, rich in iron (hence the name), gives it architectural strength and longevity. 2016 was an extraordinary vintage, capable of giving Rocce Rosse a silky texture built on a backbone of rare acidic and mineral power. On the nose, it is a symphony of rare elegance: clear notes of wild raspberry, cinchona, and rhubarb blend with deep hints of pipe tobacco, fine leather, rust, and a mineral trail reminiscent of graphite and wet rock. On the palate, it is lively, architectural, and sumptuous; the entry is straightforward, dominated by noble and very fine tannins, with an aristocratic balsamic freshness that stretches the sip towards a savory, endless, and crystalline finish.
