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.
Classic varietal character of dark berries, white pepper, tobacco, and chalk. The palate is full and energetic with long-lasting flavours of dark cherry, blackcurrant, violet, lavender, and rose petal.
Single vineyard Cabernet Franc with a strong maceration and some age in oak casks and concrete. Dark fruited, leathery, and tannic, this wine is a great pairing for richer game dishes.
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.
