Arpepe Grumello Buon Consiglio Riserva 2016

Ar.Pe.Pe. is the acronym of the founder, Arturo Pelizzatti Perego, of this Valtellina winery jewel, nestled between the Rhaetian and Orobie Alps, one of the most beautiful and dramatic regions in the world, in northern Lombardy. Heroic viticulture has in fact been practiced on very steep granite terraces since the Romans. The fourth generation of the family, the inspired siblings Isabella, Emanuele and Guido, reveals how sensational a great mountain Nebbiolo can be, endowed with pristine purity, supreme elegance, complexity of tertiary aromas, freshness and mineral sap.

Buon Consiglio is located in the Grumello sub-area and its altitude varies between 300 and 400 meters. There were 89 days of maceration in 50 hl wooden containers, followed by an aging period of 34 months in them + a few months in stainless steel tanks.
