Valtellina Superiore Grumello DOCG Buon Consiglio 2018 Arpepe

A red wine from Valtellina Superiore Grumello DOCG, made by Ar.pe.pe from Nebbiolo alone. The grapes come from Grumello, one of the five historic subzones of Valtellina Superiore, a large vineyard above the town of Sondrio. Traditional winemaking lets the wine show the character of this steep, generous mountain terrain. Ruby tending to garnet in colour, it opens with ethereal and floral notes that give way to a delicate hint of marasca cherry in spirit. The palate is broad, elegant, rich and layered, with rare balance and a long, clean finish.
