Ar.Pe.Pe.’s Sassella Stella Retica 2019 is a tribute to the Alpine beauty of Valtellina, born from the steep terraces of Sassella on rocky red granite soils. This bright ruby red offers a seductive bouquet of raspberry, violet, alpine herbs and a hint of flint, which enhances its mountain freshness. Aged for 18 months between wooden and concrete vats, it presents itself with a lean and vibrant palate, fine tannins and a savory and mineral finish. A Nebbiolo of rare elegance, perfect for those seeking the purity of the territory in every sip, with an aging potential that will make it even more fascinating.
