Ar.Pe.Pe Valtellina Superiore Riserva 'Sassella Vigna Regina' 2005

The Perego family has been cultivating fruit in the hillsides of Valtellina for over 150 years, working only with Nebbiolo (Chiavennasca.) High altitudes, granitic soils, and southern exposure allow fruit to optimally ripen and develop a distinct minerality. ‘Sassella Vigna Regina’ is the most elegant expression in the family’s line, showing lifted aromatics of herbs, roses, and spice, with notes of ripe cherry & tobacco. Will age for 15+ years.
