Tucked in between the Orobic and Retic Alps just south of the Italian-Swiss border, you’ll find the terraced vineyards of ARPEPE. At the helm of this storied estate, located in the Grumello subzone of Valtellina in Lombardy, is the fifth generation of the Pelizzatti Perego family. The roots of this blue-chip estate go back to the 1860s, when the current generation’s great-great-grandfather Giovanni founded a successful winery in the area, then known only as “Pelizzatti.” Over 150 years of history have passed since then. Today, ARPEPE is widely recognized as the single best producer in the appellation (as well as a benchmark producer of Nebbiolo in general)

The Valtellina Superiore Grumello 'Buon Consiglio' 2013 is produced from 100% Chiavennasca (local dialect for Nebbiolo) from the Grumello subzone, at 350-400 meters elevation with a southern exposure (providing for the best morning sun). The wine begins its transformation from juice to wine in over 83 days in 50-hectoliter wooden vats, and then is aged for 39 months in large cask ('Boti" in Italian) followed by 3 years in bottle.
