Ar.Pe.Pe, Rosso di Valtellina (2022) pierre richardLombardy, Italy. 100% Chiavennasca (Nebbiolo). This is a rare grape variety that, over the centuries, has adapted to the Valtellina, a land like no other, where everything is still done by hand. 50 100 year old vines, sourced from lower slopes of Sassella and Grumello vineyards at 350 400 meters. The wine is aromatic, easy to drink and feels like a cross over between Piemonte and Burgundy. Its a precise and refined wine with loads of red fruits

juicy fruit

and Kellogg's Corn Flakes

and ready to elevate everything from margaritas to spritzes

Smooth vodka meets real lime for a citrusy refresher with just the right amount of tang

Fresh and crisp

Ruby in color

Notes of ripe dark and red berries

Aged in French oak barrels for 18 months

This is excellent topped with prosecco or club soda and garnished with a blood orange twist

the components are blended and bottled

and all of her piñas must originate in the iron-rich red soil of the local Jalisco highlands

the perfect wine for circle foods
