2016 Arpepe Sassella "Rocce Rosse" Valtellina Superiore Riserva 1.5L
What it is:
100% Nebbiolo from the Sassella subzone of Valtellina, Italy. Aged in large, neutral oak for 42 months.
Why we like it:
This is essentially the perfect example of Nebbiolo from the Alps. This vineyard was brought back to life in the heart of Sassella with the vision of creating a perfect Alpine Nebbiolo free from modern influence. Rocce Rosse refers to the red rocks which litter the area, these are iron rich soils that create broody, complex and engaging wines.
