'Rocce Rosse' Valtellina Superiore DOCG Sassella Riserva Ar.Pe.Pe. 2016

The Rocce Rosse Valtellina Superiore DOCG Sassella Riserva was born from the experience and great sensitivity of the Ar.Pe.Pe winery , which since 1984 has managed to enhance the Valtellina area with simplicity and genuineness. It is a pure Nebbiolo obtained from grapes grown exclusively in the company's territories, in the upper Valtellina. The company, managed today by the sons of the founder Arturo Pellizzati Perego, has maintained a strong bond with its territory, towards which it has a profound respect, so much so that it opts for renewable energies and cutting-edge techniques that protect the environmental heritage. The grapes that give rise to Rocce Rosse Valtellina Superiore DOCG Sassella Riserva are therefore cultivated with care and dedication. It is from these vineyards that perfect grapes are born, which are then processed with experience in the cellar, where they are aged for 48 months in chestnut barrels and another 12 months in cement tanks. Thus was born an elegant and full-bodied red wine, complex and evolved, soft on the palate and rich in gustatory sensations that bring back the Valtellina terroir. A perfect wine even after a few years of aging.
