Arpepe Valtellina Superiore Sassella DOCG "Rocce Rosse" 2018

A Valtellina Superiore Sassella DOCG red wine from Arpepe, made from Nebbiolo. Rocce Rosse comes from the heart of the Sassella subzone and reflects five generations of winemaking experience. The colour is ruby red tending to garnet. The nose shows cherry and plum in spirit, with clove, nutmeg and leather. On the palate it is elegant, dry, fresh and remarkably balanced, closing with a lively acidity that shapes the finish. It is a long-lived red that rewards waiting for decades. It suits substantial meat dishes, including game, and white truffle risotto.
