Ar.Pe.Pe Valtellina Superiore Sassella Riserva “Nuova Regina” 2018 is a majestic Nebbiolo from the steep granite terraces of Sassella in Lombardy. Sourced from ancient vines planted at 450–550 m on rocky soils, this DOCG Riserva undergoes prolonged maceration (67–89 days in large 50 hl wooden vats) followed by extensive ageing, 34–39 months in big barrels and concrete, plus several years in bottle, resulting in a profoundly layered wine.

With a deep garnet hue, its nose reveals complex aromas: sour cherries, blackberries, cassis, bitter orange peel, menthol, and mountain herbs, framed by savory mineral and tar accents. On the palate it is elegant yet powerful, fresh, lacy tannins and bright acidity carry flavors of ripe red and dark berries, crushed stone, liquorice, and herbaceous nuance, finishing with persisting mineral grip.

This Riserva is built for the long haul: it will evolve beautifully over the next decade and beyond. It pairs wonderfully with venison, game birds, mature cheeses, pork, or richly sauced pasta.
