Ar.Pe.Pe. Sassella Stella Retica Tinto

Descrição

The Sassella Stella Retica, produced by the Lombard winery Ar.Pe.Pe., comes from vineyards planted on terraces—steep slopes in the Valtellina region near the Alps. The area sits between 400 and 600 m above sea level, where granite, slate and red clay soils dominate, and farming is carried out with a respect for the environment. The wine ages for two years in oak and chestnut barrels, delivering floral, smoky and mineral aromas, with a juicy, velvety palate in the mouth, according to British critic James Suckling.
