Arpepe Valtellina Superiore 'Grumello Rocca de Piro' 2019

I just love this wine, thanks to its sheer brightness and energy. The Ar. Pe. Pe. 2019 Valtellina Superiore Grumello Rocca de Piro reveals impeccable balance and a very silky quality, with nuanced delivery of cherry cola, white licorice root and blue mountain flower. The wine evokes a warmer sense as well with mountain meadow and sunshine on slate rock. All of these elements work in harmony and transfer to the palate with soft intensity. Production is 12,850 bottles. Drink 2024-2035. 95 Points. Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate.
