Rosso di Valtellina is Arpepe's entry tier and the youngest expression of Chiavennasca (Nebbiolo) the family releases. Born in 2003 as a vintage blend across the family's cru sites when the harvest demanded it, it has stayed in the range ever since. The wine ferments with native yeasts, sees an extended maceration in wooden vats, and rests six to twelve months in large untoasted casks of Slavonian or French oak before further bottle time.
