This Valtellina Superiore Riserva from ARPEPE, made from Nebbiolo (Chiavennasca), presents a complex aromatic profile of dried red cherries, cranberries, rose petals, and hints of tar and licorice, evolving into earthy, forest floor, and subtle spicy notes with air. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with high, refreshing acidity and firm, well-integrated tannins. Flavors mirror the nose, offering a savory core with mineral undertones and a long, persistent finish that speaks to its mountain origins and careful aging.
