The profile is taut and austere, enlivened by a \u003cstrong\u003emarked freshness\u003c\/strong\u003e and a \u003cstrong\u003egrippy tannin\u003c\/strong\u003e. The bouquet reveals a fascinating interplay of spicy notes, small red fruits, hibiscus, chinotto and rhubarb, enriched by aromatic herbs and penetrating \u003cstrong\u003enotes of scorched earth\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe roots of this wine lie in a context of \u003cstrong\u003eheroic viticulture\u003c\/strong\u003e within the \u003cstrong\u003eValtellina Superiore\u003c\/strong\u003e area, where the steep slopes demand rigorous manual work. The vines grow at 450 metres above sea level, on the third hairpin bend of the steep road known as the Circuito dell’Inferno. Here, the \u003cstrong\u003emountain climate\u003c\/strong\u003e with its Alpine character is crucial for preserving the vibrant acidity and the typical tannic structure of \u003cstrong\u003eNebbiolo\u003c\/strong\u003e. The wine’s name pays homage to Dante’s narrative, fully reflecting the agricultural identity of the \u003cstrong\u003eAr.Pe.Pe.\u003c\/strong\u003e family, guardians of these historic \u003cstrong\u003eValtellina terraces\u003c\/strong\u003e for over a century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bunches, harvested at the beginning of November, undergo a \u003cstrong\u003elong maceration on the skins\u003c\/strong\u003e for eighty-six days in wooden vessels. This targeted extraction is followed by a slow ageing of thirty-four months, divided between steel and \u003cstrong\u003echestnut barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, concluding with a prolonged rest before release. Such rigorous cellar choices forge a typical garnet hue and a \u003cstrong\u003etaut and persistent palate\u003c\/strong\u003e. Thanks to its solid structural integrity, enhanced by prior decanting, it pairs precisely with game dishes, cuts of beef, lamb and mature cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInferno Sesto Canto by Ar.Pe.Pe is a solemn tribute to 150 years of \u003cstrong\u003eheroic viticulture\u003c\/strong\u003e. Inspired by Dante's Divine Comedy, this proud Nebbiolo DOCG is born at an altitude of 450 metres in the “Inferno Circuit”, a historic setting for rally races so loved by Arturo Pelizzatti Perego. Created to exalt the powerful roar of a harsh terroir, the Riserva combines meticulous manual labour with a \u003cstrong\u003elengthy maturation\u003c\/strong\u003e of 34 months in wood, steel, and bottle. The result is an austere glass, with an imposing structure and extraordinary \u003cstrong\u003elongevity\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ar.Pe.Pe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44898173780139,"sku":"55370","price":84.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/ar-pe-pe-valtellina-superiore-inferno-sesto-canto-riserva-2018_55370_1_07f79309-a7ca-4903-b299-b4830c7aef1f.webp?v=1773758144","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/products\/ar-pe-pe-valtellina-superiore-inferno-sesto-canto-riserva-2018","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
