Ar Pe Pe Valtellina Superiore Reserva Sassella Rocce Rosse (2016) Lombardy, Italy

100% Chiavennasca—Nebbiolo—from the Sassella zone of Valtellina. The 2016 spent 97 days on the skins and 34 months aging in large wood, concrete and bottle before release. Dried cherry, rose, iron and mountain herbs with the kind of fine structure that comes from a very long, patient élevage.
