Their legacy dates back to the Unification of Italy, with a continuous tradition aimed at maximizing the potential of Alpine Nebbiolo in the distinctive terroir of Valtellina—a valley nestled between the Rhaetian Alps and the Orobie, enjoying a unique microclimate. The terraced vineyards bask in sunlight and are caressed by the cool northern winds. The company's name, Ar.pe.pe., is derived from Arturo Pelizzatti Perego, who in 1984, drawing on the experience from his father and grandfather's endeavors, embarked on a new winemaking venture, infusing it with the rich heritage of values and knowledge passed down through his family. Today, the winery is under the stewardship of Isabella and Emanuele Pellizzati Perego, Arturo's offspring. They oversee the 13 hectares of vineyards in the core of the Valtellina Superiore DOCG, spanning Sassella, Grumello, and Inferno. The grape processing is a manual affair, with harvesters carrying small baskets of grapes on their shoulders along paths ascending the cliffs. In the cellar, the aim is to allow the Alpine Nebbiolo to articulate its finest expression, employing traditional methods involving vats, large barrels, steel or concrete tanks, and an abundance of patience—the kind that respects the necessary time for maturation.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Arpepe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48618397794488,"sku":"97794488","price":66.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4211\/3208\/files\/arpepe-rosso-di-valtellina_jpg.png?v=1714991726"},{"product_id":"diego-rivetti-langhe-nebbiolo-2023","title":"Diego Rivetti Langhe Nebbiolo 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Wine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eSeductive - \u003cstrong\u003eVC Staff Fav!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eVariety\u003c\/strong\u003e - Nebbiolo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\u003c\/strong\u003e - Italy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRegion\u003c\/strong\u003e - Piemonte\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSub Region\u003c\/strong\u003e - Langhe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExtra\u003c\/strong\u003e - Cork\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear\u003c\/strong\u003e - 2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eVolume\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e750ml\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003ca id=\"more_desc_btn\" href=\"#pro_more_desc\"\u003eAbout the Wine Maker \u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4211\/3208\/files\/right-arrow_480x480.jpg?v=1647847041\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOriginally from Piobesi d’Alba, \u003cem\u003eil viticoltore\u003c\/em\u003e Diego Rivetti’s family roots lie in the sedimentary marine sand of MGA Bricco di Piobesi, perched overlooking the village, from where he draws his Roero Arneis ‘Criculin’ (crichet\/cocuzzolo), planted in 2010; plus in 2023 he planted a plot of Roero Nebbiolo, also on il Bricco.

Firstly as that incredibly jovial sommelier at Melbourne’s City Wine Shop (THE guy to ask what one should drink), and now as the still-incredibly-jovial winemaker of Little Reddie. Pat runs his negociant winemaking project out of Colbinabbin and Malmsbury, Victoria (he also co-founded the Boomtown Co-op, an urban-style country winery in Castlemaine, known for their gorgeous vin de soif). His first vintage was 2015.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe strength in this tiny label is talent and exuberance of Pat himself: he's dedicated to uncovering unique vineyards in Central Victoria, whether it’s tiny dry-grown plots in Malmsbury, obscure plantings of indigenous Venetian varieties or deep red, iron rich sites planted to beautifully bloody and mineral Nebbiolo. His relationships with his growers are fierce, in part due to his charming personality, but also because he works alongside them wherever he can, sharing ethics and values on the land and in the cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePat’s wines are made with passionate intuition and minimal intervention across the board—not necessarily with the aim of producing 'low fi' wine he says, but to give a truer representation of the season and terroir. He thus calls it 'hi-fi'—we like it. Due to the negociant-style nature of the Little Reddie beast, the wines available change as frequently as the vintage and places from which they derive. There are some mainstays, like his NEW! Nebbiolo Refosco (a play on the French nouveau and representing an immediately digestible style of red), the luscious “Super Juice” rosé, his cheeky Pét-nat, and Pinot and Chardonnay from the Rush Brothers vineyard in Malmsbury. Added to this are his SYR (Single Year Release) projects, which are always rare and exciting things.

Calling this a bargain 'baby Barolo' hardly does it justice!\u003cbr style=\"mso-special-character: line-break;\"\u003e\u003c!-- [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--\u003e\u003cbr style=\"mso-special-character: line-break;\"\u003e\u003c!--[endif]--\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Details\u003cbr\u003eVariety \u003c\/strong\u003e- Nebbiolo\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCountry \u003c\/strong\u003e- Italy\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRegion \u003c\/strong\u003e- Piemonte\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSub Region \u003c\/strong\u003e- Langhe\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExtra \u003c\/strong\u003e- Screwcap\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYear \u003c\/strong\u003e- 2023\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVolume \u003c\/strong\u003e- 750ml\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003ca href=\"#pro_more_desc\" id=\"more_desc_btn\"\u003eAbout the Wine Maker \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4211\/3208\/files\/right-arrow_480x480.jpg?v=1647847041\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1896 by the enterprising Giovanni Massolino—he was the first to bring electricity to the town—the estate is based in and around the town of Serralunga d’Alba, one of the prime sub-zones of Barolo. Today, the keys of this historical estate belong to Franco and Roberto Massolino who work with gifted, ex-Vajra winemaker Giovanni Angeli. Behind Massolino’s rise to the apex of Barolo lies their remarkable collections of Serralunga vineyards, including choice parcels of such famous sites as; Margheria, Parafada and the legendary Vigna Rionda where the Massolino family is the largest holders with 3.5 hectares of vines (two are planted to Nebbiolo) between 40 and 50 years old. Outside of this commune, Massolino also tends vines in the great Parussi Cru of Castiglione Falletto. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe high-altitude chalky hillsides of Serrralunga d’Alba, on the eastern edge of the Barolo DOCG, produce some of the most profound and long-lived Barolo wines. It is the home of great names such as Giacomo Conterno and Bruno Giacosa’s Falletto vineyard. The wines often have an extra stuffing of intense Nebbiolo fruit as well as a remarkable minerality that plays on both the freshness of the tannins and gives the wines a certain ferrous edge when young.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThere are many great things to write about Massolino, a family winery based in Serralunga d'Alba. As I reflect on these wines, I am struck by the harmony and perfection of the overall portfolio: the clear identity of each product and its placement within the Massolino quality pyramid and the crescendo of wines that culminates with a truly memorable single-vineyard Baroli and the top-shelf Barolo Riserva Vigna Rionda. The portfolio has a few unexpected surprises too, such as a very elegant Moscato d'Asti and a cheerful Riesling.”\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMonica Larner, The Wine Advocate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Massolino","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53762626126008,"sku":"SKU-140726015407","price":68.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4211\/3208\/files\/4EFCF454-6E21-4FF4-B8EC-B568B9D641BC.jpg?v=1784010260"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.vauclusecellars.com.au\/collections\/new-nebbiolo-selections.oembed","provider":"Vaucluse Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
