About the Producer Arpepe

Situated in the heart of the Italian Alpes in the magnificent Valtellina valley found in Lombardy, the Pelizzatti Perego family create their brilliant wines. They have been caring for wines in the region for more than 150 years and the domain is here today thanks to its namesake: Arturo Pelizzatti Perego. An ambitious visionary, Arturo bought back the family domain in 1984 with the goal of creating delicate Vatellina Nebbiolos that would be known around the world. He did just that and today the name “ARPEPE” has become a standard for Italian wines. Now run by Arturo’s children, the property sitting at 700 metres above sea level use the knowledge passed down through five generations to continue making the domain’s brilliant organic wines of which only 60,000 bottles are produced in a year.
