Valtellina Grumello Riserva Rocca de Piro 2022","description":"A hundred and eight days: that's how long the 2022 Rocca de Piro spent macerating in big 50-hectoliter wooden vats. That marathon tells you a lot about how Ar.Pe.Pe., one of Valtellina's cult names, thinks Nebbiolo should be made. This is Alpine Nebbiolo, 100% Chiavennasca (the local name for the grape), from the Grumello cru in Lombardy's far north. The vines face south at 350 to 500 meters, with grass left growing between the rows. The cuvée is named for the Grumello De Piro castle, below which the Pelizzatti Perego family has worked stone-terraced slopes since 1860. Arturo Pelizzatti Perego re-founded the winery under his own initials in 1984, and the fifth generation (Isabella, Emanuele and Guido) now runs it from a cellar dug into the mountainside. After that long soak, the 2022 spent 12 months between large vats and casks, concrete and bottle, all in the patient spirit of Riserva Nebbiolo that aims for finesse over force. The producer's advice is about 15°C in a big balloon glass, and it's worth giving the wine an hour open first.","brand":"Vinity Wine Company [VWC]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44000908345379,"sku":"SF-W-VWC-100726-3","price":75.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0044\/1208\/0163\/files\/Bottle-of-Ar_Pe_Pe_-Valtellina-Grumello-Riserva-Rocca-de-Piro-2022-Red-Wine-Flatiron-SF.jpg?v=1794437498","url":"https:\/\/sf.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/ar-pe-pe-valtellina-grumello-riserva-rocca-de-piro-2022","provider":"Flatiron SF","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
