As a family affair (Arpepe is a conflation of the founder's name: Arturo Pelizzatti Perego), Arpepe dates back to the 19th Century when it was established as Pelizzatti. Despite a solid reputation, rocky times in the 1970s saw the Pelizzatti family sell several vineyard plots and the original domaine name. The winemaking enterprise was revived in the mid-1980s as Arpepe and, over the years, some of the vineyards sold in the 70s come back under the control of the estate. The portfolio is headed by a range of Valtellina Superiore labels covering the Grumello, Inferno and Sassella DOCG subregions. Based on Chiavennasca (the local name for Nebbiolo), these often single-vineyard expressions also encompass stylistic variations, from the vine-raisined Ultimi Raggi (Sassella) to the use of chestnut oak barrels in the Sesto Canto Riserva (Inferno). An entry-level Rosso di Valtelina and Il Pettirosso (the latter a Valtellina Superiore blend of the three main subregions) – both from Chiavennasca, although \"Nebbiolo\" is used on the label – are also produced. The estate covers 13 hectares (32 acres) of vineyard, all in Valtellina. Winemaking is relatively traditional with a preference for steel and concrete tank fermentation and aging in oak vats and large-format oak barrels.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-09-18T15:44:09-04:00","created_at":"2023-09-15T19:53:14-04:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_Italy","Other_Wine","Producer_Arpepe","Region_Lombardy","RK1509","Source_WineOnlineDelivery0923","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Nebbiolo"],"price":18600,"price_min":18600,"price_max":18600,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":43698518098058,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":null,"requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2013 | Arpepe | Ultimi Raggi","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":18600,"weight":5443,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/17_deefa9e5-5bc2-484e-a2bc-d5e980c53ced.jpg?v=1694822041"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/17_deefa9e5-5bc2-484e-a2bc-d5e980c53ced.jpg?v=1694822041","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2013 | Arpepe | Ultimi Raggi at CaskCartel.com","id":25124795449482,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.28,"height":769,"width":215,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/17_deefa9e5-5bc2-484e-a2bc-d5e980c53ced.jpg?v=1694822041"},"aspect_ratio":0.28,"height":769,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/17_deefa9e5-5bc2-484e-a2bc-d5e980c53ced.jpg?v=1694822041","width":215}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2013 | Arpepe | Ultimi Raggi\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is charismatic and delightfully confounding in its timeless, weightless quality.
