ArPePe - Il Pettirosso

The uniqueness of this wine is the clever fusion of the Sassella elegance with the Grumello sweetness, which is possible only in the best vintages. A wonderful synthesis of the most noble qualities of the Valtellina terroir, this happy union takes place in the cellar, thanks to a long maceration and patient aging. Bright garnet ruby red, with intense and elegant aromas of forest floor, on the palate it is fresh, vibrant and harmonious. A perfect match with red meat, game and medium-to-long aged cheeses. To be served in large glasses at 15°C.
