I first fell in love w/ the Nebbiolos from the Valtelline back in the mid-'70’s when I first had the wines of Arturo Pelizzatti. That experience ignited a life-long appreciation for those wines. After a few yrs, those wines pretty much disappeared from the US, but I continued to follow other Valtelline producers.
The Pelizzatti estate is now run by his children under the name of ArPePe ( ArPePe ) . I reconnected with those wines several yrs ago and regard them as some of the best being produced in the Valtelline.
Isabella Pelizzatti Perego will be in the Bay area in a few weeks and doing a dinner at Donato Enoteca in RedwoodCity on Sept 21, Monday. This is a great opportunity to meet Isabella and try her wines. Details from Isabella are below.
