Ar Pe Pe, Grumello Riserva 'Sant'Antonio' 2018 Champagne Thierry Pillot pulling the stringsPlace: Valtellina, Italy Grape: Nebbiolo Vibe: Natural, richer 2018 was a half decent vintage in this part of the world. Lap it up. Old vines planted on the top of an already high altitude hill, next to a church. God like positioning in wine terms. Long maceration and extended elevage. They aimed high, and did it. Suave and detailed, the aromatic profile is superb. Tea like, dark cherry laden. Wow. ABV: 13. 5%
