Arpepe 'Il Pettirosso' Valtellina Superiore DOCG, Italy 2023
"a subtly spicy and elegant wine with aromas of embers, bark, fresh roses, violets, red currants, pomegranates, restrained blood oranges, and licorice." JamesSuckling.com
The 2023 Il Pettitrosso comes from the winery's top sites, Sassella, Inferno and Grumello, and is a seriously good introduction to the wines of Arpepe and indeed to the beguiling elegance of 'Alpine Nebbiolo' of Valtellina. The 2023 vintage was wamer, giving a more structured and richer Il Pettirosso than previous releases.
The grapes spend up to 3 months on their skins and another 12 in used oak barrels, giving the wine certain dusty, dry tannins. There's red berry fruits, raspberries, strawberries, and cherries hiding behind the tea-like tannins that reveal themselves gently in the glass. Although this is a lighter, more delicate style of Nebbiolo there's so much going on it the glass and, as with all of Arpepe's wines, your patience once you've opened the bottle will reward you in spades!
Magnificent with grilled vegetables and lighter meats, especially Lamb that’s been judiciously grilled or roasted :)
