What is this wine?
Ar.Pe.Pe. (Arturo Pelizzatti Perego) is the benchmark estate of Lombardy’s Valtellina, where Nebbiolo—locally called Chiavennasca—is grown on steep, terraced Alpine vineyards. Their Rosso di Valtellina is the gateway wine, made from hand-harvested fruit across the valley and vinified traditionally in large neutral casks. The 2022 vintage delivered bright, fresh reds with silky tannins, perfect for the estate’s elegant style.

Why get this wine?
This is Nebbiolo in a distinctly Alpine key: fragrant, graceful, and refreshing, with less tannic weight than Barolo or Barbaresco. Ar.Pe.Pe. is considered the master of the region, and their Rosso offers an accessible, great-value entry point into one of Italy’s most exciting terroirs.

What does this wine taste like?
Delicate red cherry and cranberry with rose petal, alpine herbs, and a touch of spice. Light to medium-bodied, with fine tannins, lively acidity, and a savory, mineral finish.

When should you drink this wine?
Best now through 2028 for its freshness and lift. Serve slightly cool. Ideal with salumi, roast chicken, mushroom risotto, or Alpine cheeses.

ARPEPE is short for Arturo Pelizzatti Perego, the founder of the estate. Sadly Arturo passed 15 years ago, but his children have continued the work he started. Emanuele and Isabella have expanded the winery and this allows them the luxury of patience. They can age the wines for years in tanks, concrete vats and large neutral oak barrels until they are ready to bottle, and they can age them even longer in bottle until they are ready to sell and drink.

The vineyard work is laborious and almost entirely by hand due to the steepness of the slope. They eschew the use of herbicides and pesticides and essentially farm the same way as their ancestors did.
