Game, smoke, earth, strawberries and bright licorice root depth. The attack is soft and elegant, with silky tannins and refreshing acidity. A chewy, vivid finish. Drink or hold.

Dense and tightly meshed, with taut, chalky tannins and a racy streak of minerality married to flavors of dried black cherry, medicinal herbs, orange peel and milled pepper. Reveals savory hints of tobacco and smoke that push through and linger on the persistent finish. Let this open in the glass or decant for full enjoyment. Drink now through 2031. 1,050 cases made, 150 cases imported.

Sourced from one of the oldest parcels in Grumello, Buon Consiglio channels the vineyard’s upper-altitude minerality and the patience of long aging. Elegant yet firm, with red currants, alpine spice, crushed rock, and a sense of quiet authority. The 2016 is vibrant and lifted, with fine tannins and serious depth—one of the standout Riservas of the vintage.

Notes

ArPePe’s 2016 “Buon Consiglio” Grumello Valtellina Superiore Riserva is a strikingly refined and contemplative expression of mountain Nebbiolo, combining depth, structure, and finesse. The nose is lifted and intricate, with aromas of sour cherry, rose petal, blood orange, and dried herbs, underscored by hints of spice, leather, and crushed granite. On the palate, fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity frame a core of vivid red fruit, savory earth, and mineral intensity. The finish is long and precise, echoing floral and herbal tones with a touch of balsamic lift. A profound and age-worthy wine that speaks clearly of its alpine terroir and ArPePe’s timeless style.
