Riserva 33 is produced by making "assemblage assemblage," the base wine before frothing, is in fact composed of 33% each of the saten, milledi and extra brut bases. Up to 40 vineyards located in 8 communes of Franciacorta are used to make up this wine. Chardonnay grapes are vinified using only the free-run must, which ferments in steel and then ages in the bottle for 80 months.

The Moscato di Scanzo appellation includes the small area in the commune of Scanzorosciate, from which it takes its name. The vineyards stand on hillsides that have slopes between 50 percent and 100 percent on shallow, rocky soils. Vines have been cultivated in this area since Atestine times and continued with the Greeks, Celts and finally the Romans who founded the town of Scanzo. It was a family of centurions Scantii who gave the town its name.

Ar.Pe.Pe's Valtellina Superiore Inferno Fiamme Antiche is a red wine made with only Nebbiolo (Chiavennasca) grapes from 50-year-old vines. The vineyards grow on steep sunny slopes in the municipality of Poggiridenti, 450 meters above sea level, on flaky granite soils. The name "Fiamme Antiche" refers to the granite rock that, when exposed to the sun, gives off heat that is released into the air almost like flames, allowing the grapes to ripen perfectly. Ar.Pe.Pe. Winery takes care of the production process, beginning with a hand harvest of the best grapes in October. Prolonged aging culminates in a bottle of Valtellina Superiore DOCG, characterized by a ruby red color that over time can show an orange hue, like flames.

Ar.Pe.Pe.'s Rocca de Piro wine, made from grapes grown in its two estate vineyards in the Grumello area, takes its inspiration and name from Castel Grumello, a majestic 14th-century fortress once owned by the De Piro family. This imposing structure consists of two separate buildings, originally joined by a wall, overlooking the high ground dedicated to the cultivation of Nebbiolo delle Alpi grapes. Grumello Rocca de Piro thus becomes an authentic expression of the deep bond that binds the Ar.Pe.Pe. winery to the impervious and evocative territory of Valtellina. Here, rows of the Chiavennasca vine, an indigenous ecotype of Nebbiolo, rise proudly from the verdant terraces, sculpted with hard work and dedication over time by heroic local winemakers. This wine embodies the history and deep-rooted commitment to the land, offering a sensory experience that reflects the majesty of the rocks, the industriousness of the vineyards and the authenticity of Valtellina's winemaking tradition.

CruPerdu, which means lost vineyard, owes its name to some vines that were rediscovered in 1986 in a portion of the winery grounds that had been encroached upon by forest. It is a wine made from Chardonnay grapes combined with a smaller percentage of Pinot Noir from the same vintage; vinification takes place in steel and in the bottle where the wine ages for 6 years.

Ar.Pe.Pe's Stella Retica wine offers a sensory experience that reflects the determination and passion of its producers. The inspiration behind this wine was so intense that a climber dedicated a route to its name, channeling the energy of the surrounding nature and the majestic Sassella of the Rhaetian Alps. The quest for perfection is also evident in the long maceration of the wine, a process that gives young wines an extraordinary capacity for evolution. The proper ripening of the grapes is an art emphasized by sensitivity and attention to detail. Arpepe, aware of the infinite variables that influence the final result, approaches the management of these components with respect and mastery, passionately defining it as their "job." This meticulous care, combined with favorable atmospheric conditions, helps create high-quality grapes that are the beating heart of Stella Retica wine.

Discover Arpepe's artistry and passion in Stella Retica wine, a sensory experience that inspired a route in the Rhaetian Alps. Long maceration and meticulous care create an enological masterpiece.

Valtellina Superiore Inferno DOCG from the Aldo Rainoldi winery is made from the pure grapes of one of the noblest red grape varieties in the entire Italian territory, Nebbiolo. Because of the conformation and location of the land on which the vineyards stand, machinery and mechanical work are almost unusable. The carefully harvested grapes ferment slowly, macerating in temperature-controlled steel tanks, with periodic pumping over and punching down. Following aging, the result is a structured and assertive red wine.

Noir is a sparkling wine made with only Pinot Noir grapes from three different vineyards. The vineyards surrounded by woods stand on the Belvedere estate at an altitude of 466 meters in the hills of Iseo, near the lake of the same name. The soil is morainic, formed by successive cycles of glaciation, and has a southern exposure sheltered from northerly winds. Vinification of the grapes from the three vineyards takes place separately, and then they are combined before aging, which lasts 8 years.

This rosé sparkling wine, dedicated to the winery's founder, has rare balance and finesse and a lively savory and mineral freshness.
