this is a true orange wine

It is the only sherry made both organically and naturally

fleeing the onset of Phylloxera

growers grafted it over to more reliable grapes until for a time Nascetta flirted with extinction

Arpepe Valtellina Superiore Sassella Riserva Nuova Regina 2016 Gamay this is a true orange"Intense floral nose of red and dark fruit, with a slightly peppery, almost meaty character. There is a lot of stony minerality. Tight knit structure with fruit and acidity that are crisp and zesty, ripe tannins, a velvety texture and a medium body. Good cherry fruit finish. Drinkable now, but best from 2026." 95 Points James Suckling
