Valtellina, located in the northernmost edge of Lombardy on the border of Switzerland, is home to the highest elevation, coolest climate vineyards that grow Nebbiolo in all of Italy. Locally know as Chiavennasca, Nebbiolo from Valtellina is lighter in body and less tannic than the more famous iterations from Barolo and Barbaresco. ARPEPE (short for Arturo Pelizzatti Perego) is widely regarded as the top producer in the region and can trace their roots back to the 1860's

Il Pettirosso is the estates Superiore bottling made from 50-100 year old vines across the domaines holdings. The grapes grow at elevations between 400 and 550 meters elevation, farmed organically and are hand harvested. All fruit is destemmed and undergo a 100-day maceration in large, untoasted oak casks and is then aged in barrel for 1 year and in bottle for an additional 2 years in bottle before release.

An elegant, ethereal expression of Nebbiolo. At just 13% alcohol, this is a lot of wine. A stunning nose of pomegranate, rose, sandalwood and bergamot. The medium palate has more in common with Burgundy than Barolo in terms of weight, but the purity of cherry fruit is all Nebbiolo. Citrus-tinged acidity matched by juicy berry fruit compliment the long, earthy finish. A stellar bottle of wine.

If you request shipping you authorize Vanderbilt Wine Merchants to engage a common carrier to deliver your order. All shipments require an adult signature at the time of delivery. Therefore, either you or an authorized adult must be present at the time of delivery with proof of identification. 
If you wish to ship to a location outside of New York State, you assume all responsibility for shipment. We will notify you before processing your order if we are unable to ship wine to the state you request. For the protection of your wines, we will not ship during warmer months without your express request. All orders are packed immediately upon purchase but we may wait for optimal conditions to send. Since we cannot control the temperature of any common carrier, we do our best to send shipments out at the beginning of each week. We will always confirm any delays in shipment, and the choice is ultimately up to you.
Some of our wine is sold "Pre-Arrival." All "Pre-Arrival" items will be indicated as such on our website and include the estimated date of arrival. We will contact you once the wine has arrived and confirm any shipment or delivery requests prior to sending.

From time to time we purchase private collections and offer these wines to you at competitive and, we think, very attractive pricing.  We only purchase cellars of top provenance bottles that have been stored in ideal conditions, and we only work with trusted acquaintances and collectors.  If the wine you are considering does not display certain information, or if you would like certain images of the bottles please email us at info@vwm.wine
