  Six years after, a perfect combination of finess and elegance, power always balanced. Smoothed acidity, faded fruit, refined tannins. Elegant nose of ripe blackberries and violet flowers, mouth consistent with pepper and some blueberries. Slow wine after dinner. My best Arpepe so far

  decanted 1,5hour
  garnet red with elegant nose of ripe blackberries, leather and violet flowers of medium intensity.
  in the mouth the wine was extremely balanced with very gentle tannins. Again blackberries, plums, pepper and some blueberries.
  Mineral with very good length!
  Highly recommended!

  Miam. Quel joli Nebbiolo. La couleur commence à changer. Un nez envoûtant: cerise, fraise séchée, pruneau, rose, balsamique et épices douces. La bouche se fait d'abord sur l'acidité mais s'équilibre rapidement. Les tanins montrent encore un peu de poigne, sans prendre le dessus. La finale est assez longue sur les notes initiales de pruneaux et balsamique. C'est un vin marquant mais frais, souple et harmonieux. Très agréable. Espérons que les millésimes de celui-ci sont plus constants que la petite cuvée...! Pour moi, c'est prêt à boire mais ça ne devrait pas beaucoup bouger sur les 5 prochaines années.

  A standout producer from Valtellina, this bottle was slightly of. Significantly more developed compared to previous bottles from same case. Hints of downhill indicators. Still gorgeous to drink and occasionally impresses during the evening with beautiful aromas of dried cherries and roses.
