Arpepe Valtellina Superiore Sassella Riserva Nuova Regina 2016 Gamay Stony soils at the top

Stony soils at the top of the canyon

Not quite wine

the grapes retain all their acidity through Orion’s harvest season

fleeing the onset of Phylloxera

This is a perfect wine for a fresh Margarita Pizza

Arpepe Valtellina Superiore Sassella Riserva Nuova Regina 2016 Gamay Stony soils at the top"Intense floral nose of red and dark fruit, with a slightly peppery, almost meaty character. There is a lot of stony minerality. Tight knit structure with fruit and acidity that are crisp and zesty, ripe tannins, a velvety texture and a medium body. Good cherry fruit finish. Drinkable now, but best from 2026." 95 Points James Suckling
