Ar.Pe.Pe. Valtellina Superiore Il Pettirosso Tinto

Descrição

The name of this wine refers to the goldfinches that inhabit the Lombardy region in northern Italy, where the Ar.Pe.Pe estate is located. The story goes that one day, while the house's winemaker was working, one of these birds entered the premises and perched on a barrel that later turned out to have a small leak between the staves, so the team had to bottle it quickly with 12 months of ageing – the same as it has now. It offers aromas of red fruit (chiefly cherries and blackberries) and a silky, balanced palate.
