About Ar.Pe.Pe. Sassella Riserva Ultimi Raggi

In the true Amarone style, the reds from Valtellina are wines crafted from dried grapes. The most traditional method involves harvesting the grapes and drying them on racks within the wineries themselves. However, some deviate from the conventional path, like Arturo Pelizzatti, who contemplated doing things differently. Why not dry the grapes directly in the vineyard? A masterstroke indeed. 
 
Ar.Pe.Pe. Sassella Riserva Ultimi Raggi was born in 1999 as a result of the experiment that Arturo conducted at an altitude of 600 metres, right at the upper edge of Sassella. In this area, known as Ere, the harvest takes place a week later than in the rest of the region, achieving grape dehydration. This is based on the fact that the sharp temperature changes between day and night cause the grape skins to toughen, concentrating the sugars. A few days before the first snowfalls, at the end of November, the harvest is finally carried out, yielding a potent, robust, and concentrated nebbiolo, capable of withstanding anything thrown at it in the winery. 
 
Ar.Pe.Pe. Sassella Riserva Ultimi Raggi is gently pressed, left to macerate, and ferments, with maceration continuing in large barrels for at least 70 days. Patience must once again make an appearance in the crafting of Ar.Pe.Pe. Sassella Riserva Ultimi Raggi, as 34 months of ageing still lie ahead. This process will take place in Il Buon Consiglio, an underground cellar that the company built in the 1970s. 
 
With Ar.Pe.Pe. Sassella Riserva Ultimi Raggi, one waits until the very last moment, taking advantage of the final rays of the sun. Undoubtedly, there could be no better name for this red that will make your palate quiver.
