ARPEPE is a legendary wine estate located in the Valtellina territory of Lombardy, Italy, and their wines are recognized as some of the finest of Italy. The winery name stands for the initials of its founder Arturo Pelizzatti Perego and today, the estate is run by his children Isabella, Guido, and Emanuele.

The winery’s 13 hectares of vines are planted to the Nebbiolo grape but while one may begin comparing them to the wines of Barolo and Barbaresco, these spectacular wines from the Alps have a personality all of their own. The century-old vines grown on steep, hand-built terraced hillsides, and in an alpine environment, produce thrilling renditions of this noble grape that are intense, fresh, exceedingly elegant, yet powerful, complex, and ageworthy.

Please join us for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience some of the most awe-inspiring wines on the planet.
