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.

Explore the historic essence of Ar.Pe.Pe.'s Rocca de Piro and the deep connection to Valtellina. Rows of Chiavennasca stand proudly on the chiseled terraces of the ancient Castel Grumello. A sensory journey through the majesty of the rocks and wine passion rooted in time.

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.

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.

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."

Fruttato Ca' Rizzieri is the result of viticulture considered heroic; the vineyards stand on steeply sloping terraced slopes that make cultivation very difficult. The wine takes its name from the fruit orchard that rises 500 meters above sea level, where the late-harvested grapes are left to dry for 90 days on trellises, thanks in part to the dry, breezy climate.

"Annamaria Clementi Rosé Franciacorta Rosé Riserva Docg" is produced by the Ca' del Bosco winery from pure Pinot Noir grapes. The grapes come from only 3 historic vineyards of about 30 years of age located in Erbusco. Harvested by hand, the grapes undergo a short maceration at a controlled temperature followed by an 8-month fermentation in aged oak barrels. The wine ages on yeasts for 8 years inside oak barrels. This rosé sparkling wine, dedicated to the winery's founder, has rare balance and finesse and a lively savory and mineral freshness.
