'Sesto Canto' Valtellina Superiore DOCG Inferno Riserva Ar.Pe.Pe. 2016

The Sesto Canto Valtellina Superiore DOCG Inferno Riserva produced by the Ar.Pe.Pe. is a red wine suitable for special evenings, obtained from Nebbiolo grapes vinified in purity through a rigorous and sustainable method. The vineyard from which these very particular grapes are obtained stands at an altitude of 450 meters on a hairpin bend specifically called the Circuito dell'Inferno. As the literary suggestions of the name chosen for the label evoke, this wine is suitable for those who love to indulge in gluttony. The Sesto Canto Valtellina Superiore DOCG Inferno Riserva is the result of an incessant improvement of the production process operated by this important reality of Valtellina. After being harvested with the utmost care, the grapes are vinified with an alcoholic maceration of over seventy days in wooden vats, to then rest for almost three years in cement and glass barrels. The refinement continues in chestnut barrels, which keep the tannins vigorous.
