ARPEPE Rosso di Valtellina 750mL

ARPEPE’s Rosso di Valtellina offers an accessible introduction to Nebbiolo from the Italian Alps. The estate presents it as a lighter-hearted expression of its mountain vineyards, built for the table rather than a rigid long-cellaring plan.

Key details

• Origin: Valtellina, Lombardy, Italy
• Nebbiolo, locally called Chiavennasca
• Rosso di Valtellina DOC
• Sugar Level: Dry
• Body: Light- to medium-bodied

Pairing & serving

Serve slightly cool, around 57–61°F (14–16°C), with mushroom pasta, bresaola or roast chicken. Give a closed first glass a little air rather than automatically using a long decant.

After opening & when to enjoy

Recork and refrigerate after opening. Aim to enjoy within 2–3 days for fresh flavor; allow a chilled glass to warm slightly before serving.
