Tasting Notes

Among the most celebrated expressions of its category, this Sforzato di Valtellina DOCG showcases exceptional craftsmanship. Its 16% alcohol content underpins a rich, muscular structure. Crafted from Nebbiolo (Chiavennasca) 100%, this wine expresses the unique terroir characteristics. The palate shows depth and structure, with a finish that lingers pleasantly. The fruit is sourced from vineyards in a clayey terraced soil, betweeen 350 and 500 m above sea level, faced to south. Vinification: natural drying in boxes, fermentation in stainless steel with long maceration for 26 days. The wine is aged 24 months in big oak barrels. A wine true to the meticulous Lombard approach to winemaking.
