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.

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.

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.
