ArPePe’s 2013 “Sant’Antonio” Grumello Valtellina Superiore Riserva is a hauntingly elegant and deeply expressive Nebbiolo from one of Valtellina’s most revered crus. The nose is refined and complex, with aromas of dried cherry, rose petal, and orange zest, layered with notes of tobacco, alpine herbs, and crushed stone. On the palate, it’s finely structured yet ethereal, with silky tannins and vibrant acidity framing delicate red fruit, earthy spice, and mineral tension. The finish is long, graceful, and resonant, with lingering notes of dried flowers, citrus peel, and savory nuance. A transcendent, age-worthy mountain Nebbiolo of remarkable purity and poise.
