Valtellina Superiore Grumello Riserva DOCG "Sant'Antonio" 2018 - Ar.pe.pe

A Valtellina red from Ar.pe.pe, named after the church that has long protected the vineyards on the Risc di Sassina in Grumello. Nebbiolo is harvested at the end of October and macerates for 45 days in 50-hectolitre wooden vats. Ageing lasts five years across wooden vats and barrels, steel and bottle. It shows a garnet colour, with ferrous, fruity, damp-earth, cocoa and spice notes. The palate has good body, dense tannins and a savoury impression, with a fascinating, persistent finish.
