100% Pallagrello nero, a grape grown almost exclusively in Campania. Noted for cherry on the nose and palate, with pepper and spice characteristics, and tannins enabling the wine to be laid down for a time.
A light, delicate Pinot Noir with loads of fruit and a green pepper note from the whole-cluster maceration, that spends a year in barrel before bottling.
Willy got his expertise first working wines in Clos du Moulin aux Moines, Auxey-Durresses, where he developed a rich understanding of the land of Cote de Beaune. Now he and his lifelong friend are making a name for themselves with AMI. In conversion to biodynamic farming, the wines come from chemical free, healthy ecosystems.
The Rosso di Valtellina is Arpepe's introduction to the perfect Nebbiolo wines of the Alps. Made at the Northern end of Lombardy at high elevations, this is the wine that sees the lightest treatment of oak and lightest aging.
This promising first bottling has a fragrant nose, with cassis, cherry, and a slight tobbaco edge on the palate, and fine tannins balanced by a lively acidity.
COS pretty much single-handedly revitalized Cerasuolo di Vittoria when it was virtually extinct, and it is now the only DOCG in Sicily. The wine has bold red fruit, fine-grained tannins, and is also herbal/earthy. Can a wine be both sophisticated and rustic? If so, this is.
