Ar.Pe.Pe Valtellina Superiore Il Pettirosso 2018

Dark cherry and dried herbs flow with appealing freshness. Warm leather and cedar build gradually, supported by fine-grained tannins that feel polished rather than austere. There's real elegance here. Mountain Nebbiolo with immediate appeal yet enough backbone for modest cellaring. Captures Valtellina's alpine character without the stern youth of the reserves.
