Ar.Pe.Pe. Rosso di Valtellina 2017 Review

This wine is bright and intense at the same time and balanced through and through. It could age for another year or so to soften its edges but is drinking well now. The acidity is high so the smell or bright cherries carries and slight balsamic from the nose to the palate. The mouthfeel has a comfy grip with a significant tannin structure that screams for lean meat like roasted pork and a tangy citrus sauce.
