Valtellina Superiore 'Il Pettirosso' Ar.Pe.Pe. 2023
Pettirosso Valtellina Superiore fra Ar.Pe.Pe. er en rød vin fra Valtellina lavet af Nebbiolo-druer, lokalt kendt som Chiavennasca. Med en tilsyneladende simpel organoleptisk profil udtrykker den trofast terroiret i Valtellina, og leger med næsen med fine og elegante noter af frisk mørk frugt og kirsebær i spiritus, med strejf af humus og skovbund. I munden er den derimod klar, med stor harmoni og udtalte mineralske og salte noter, indrammet af en lang, frisk og krydret eftersmag.

dry stone walls that the steep slopes of the mountain have developed viticulture over the centuries. This is heroic viticulture, with all manual labor and harvests, requiring a lot of effort and many hours of work. The vineyards are located at an altitude between 400 and 500 meters above sea level, on soils rich in skeleton and with bedrock often exposed. The harvest takes place in the second half of October, and the grapes ferment in 50-hectoliter wooden vats with skin maceration for about 3 months, using only indigenous yeasts. The wine rests in 50-hectoliter wooden vats and barrels for 12 months.The Valtellina Superiore "Il Pettirosso" by Ar.Pe.Pe. is an ideal label to understand how Nebbiolo expresses itself in the Valtellina territory and to appreciate its particular mountain characteristics.
