ArPePe, Vatellina Superiore DOCG Grumello Rocca de Piro Nebbiolo 2011, Lombardy, Italy

Tasting Note: An aged 2011 nebbiolo that shows Valtellina nebbiolo can age beautifully.

Medium-intensity ruby in color, this wine has an aromatic, medium-plus-intensity nose of red cherry, strawberry, raspberry and blossom.

On the palate the dry, medium-bodied wine has medium-intensity, red-fruit flavors suggested on the nose supported by medium acidity and medium tannin.

The wine has subdued complexity.

A good example of an aged Valtellina nebbiolo.
