Experience Alpine Elegance: ArPePe’s 2009 Valtellina Superiore Grumello Riserva

Crafted in Lombardy’s breathtaking Valtellina vineyards, this collectible 2009 Nebbiolo from renowned producer ArPePe embodies the majestic Alpine terroir. Awarded 97 points by Wine Enthusiast and 93 points from Vinous, this Riserva delivers extraordinary depth while retaining vibrant energy—a hallmark of Italy’s finest aged red wines.

On the nose, anticipate an enchanting bouquet of wild strawberries, crushed rose petals, and alpine herbs, layered with subtle hints of flint and aged leather. The palate unfolds with remarkable precision: ripe red cherry and wild berry notes intertwine with earthy tobacco, saline minerality, and a whisper of cinnamon. Silky yet structured tannins provide elegant backbone, while bright acidity ensures impeccable balance.

Perfectly matured yet brimming with vitality, this Grumello Riserva offers immediate complexity but will continue evolving gracefully until 2034. Its 13% alcohol content delivers richness without heaviness—ideal for savoring alongside roasted game, truffle dishes, or aged cheeses.

Note: As a limited-edition Fine & Rare selection, this wine is excluded from standard discounts. Secure this cellar-worthy Nebbiolo before stocks deplete.
