Tasting notes

Pale garnet with an orange rim. The nose is sweetly perfumed with dried cherry, fig, orange peel and sweet spice, over tar and alpine herbs. The palate is dry and taut in spite of that ripeness, with fresh acidity, softened tannin and a fine, almost silky texture that carries a long savoury finish.

About this wine

Ar.Pe.Pe. is a cellar in Sondrio, in the Alpine valley of Valtellina, where Nebbiolo — known locally as Chiavennasca — grows on steep dry-stone terraces.

Ultimi Raggi was created in 1999 and is the most unusual wine of the range: the grapes are left on the vine until November so that they overripen slightly and concentrate in the wind, with no drying after picking. The must macerates for seventy-eight days in 50-hectolitre wooden vats, then the wine spends thirty-four months between wood, concrete and bottle.

Despite the late harvest the wine finishes completely dry, with the ripe-fruit perfume of a passito and the acidity of a mountain Nebbiolo.
