Tasting Notes

This prestigious Sforzato di Valtellina DOCG represents the pinnacle of Italian winemaking excellence. Its 16% alcohol content underpins a rich, muscular structure. Crafted from Nebbiolo (Chiavennasca) 100%, this wine expresses the unique terroir characteristics. Expect layered dark fruit aromas, firm tannins and a long, satisfying finish. The fruit is sourced from vineyards in a sandy clayey soil at about 500 metres above sea level in Apiro village. Organic farming. Vinification: short maceration on the skins and alcoholic fermentation in steel tanks. The wine is aged in oak casks for 18 months. A wine reflecting the alpine influence found across Lombardy's varied terroir.
