Ar.Pe.Pe. Stella Retica Riserva, Valtellina Superiore Sassella DOCG, Italy 2017 Hearst Ranch refreshing palateFragrant and loaded with finesse, this lovely red opens with heady aromas of woodland berry, wild rose and camphor. Lithe and delicious, the elegant palate offers juicy red cherry, crushed strawberry, baking spice and a tangy mineral note suggesting granite. It's well balanced, with polished tannins and fresh acidity. Drink through 2032. 94 Pts Wine Enthusiast
