Ar.Pe.Pe. Vigna Regina - Nuova Regina Riserva, Valtellina Superiore Sassella DOCG, Italy 2016 Pago Florentino Very primary aromas of crushedIntense 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 Pts James Suckling
